Used SHIMADZU 8040 #293804843 for sale

SHIMADZU 8040 spectrometer is a state-of-the-art instrument designed to measure the intensity of light across a range of wavelengths. It incorporates a single monochromator, which is a device that separates light into its component wavelengths, and a high resolution detector that can accurately measure the intensity of the light. The combined system enables the spectrometer to carry out a variety of analytical tasks including reflection, transmission, absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy. 8040 is composed of several key components. The main light source is a deuterium lamp, which provides stable, high-intensity light throughout the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) wavelength range. The light is then directed through the monochromator, which is composed of two mirrors that act as a focusing lens and a diffraction grating that disperses the beam of light into its component wavelengths. As the light passes through the single monochromator, the wavelength of the beam is determined by adjusting the angle of the diffraction grating. Finally, the light passes through the sample and is received by the detector, which measures the intensity of the light at each wavelength. SHIMADZU 8040 spectrometer is capable of measuring the spectral response of a sample from the ultraviolet at 200 nm up to the visible region at 800 nm with an accuracy of 0.1 nm. The instrument is able to carry out measurements rapidly, with up to 50 full spectra, or up to 2500 points per spectrum, able to be captured in as little as 30 seconds. The spectrometer features a two-point calibration capability for simple and accurate spectral scans and can measure light intensity down to nanoscale concentrations. 8040 is a versatile and reliable instrument ideal for a range of spectroscopic applications. The instrument is suitable for use in industrial or scientific settings, from quality control and material analysis to food safety and drug development research.
