Used MINOLTA CS-1000 #9201321 for sale

MINOLTA CS-1000 Spectrophotometer is a precision instrument used to measure and analyze the reflectance and transmission properties of materials in the visible and near infrared spectrum. It is a versatile and powerful tool for obtaining spectral data of materials that range from dyed fabrics to complex optical products. The instrument has all the necessary components to measure a wide range of optical properties including transmittance, diffuse reflectance, angle of incidence, and polarization. CS-1000 utilizes light from a visible light source in order to measure reflectance and transmittance of a sample. The light source is comprised of a tungsten lamp for visible light, which is modulated by a rotating shutter and collimated with a focusing lens. This light is projected onto the sample and the reflected or transmitted light is collected by an optical detector. The light detector is then connected to an interference filter wheel which is used to select the appropriate wavelength of light for the measurement. MINOLTA CS-1000 has a built-in light source detector pair which measures the intensity of total reflected light, direct reflected light, and diffuse reflectance. This is achieved by rotating the analyzer to various angles relative to the surface of the sample material. The angle of incidence is adjustable from 0 to +/- 90 degrees. CS-1000 uses a sampling head to control the size of the sample area that is measured and also to hold the sample in place. The sample area size that is currently being measured is displayed on the digital display. The device also measures reflectance as a function of temperature and surface roughness. MINOLTA CS-1000 can also measure transmitted light intensity and scattering properties of a material when samples are in a cell or a cuvette. The sample cell contains the sample material and is placed between two halves of an optical detector. The detector is first purged with nitrogen to prevent any unwanted condensation and reduce the scattering of light passing through the sample cell. CS-1000 has a high-speed digital interface for connecting to a computer for remote operation and data collection. It is a popular choice for materials science, research and education applications due to its robust design and reliable performance. The instrument is user-friendly and capable of performing accurate measurements in a wide range of conditions making it an excellent tool for studying and analyzing the optical properties of various materials.
