The Cary 5000 is a high performance UV/Vis/NIR optical spectrophotometer, capable of measuring spectra in the range of 175-3300 nm.  Spectra can be acquired in transmission, diffuse reflectance and total reflectance.  The system can accommodate a wide range of sample types including liquids, suspensions, solids and films.  Sample sizes can vary from 140 mm to as small as 1 mm.  Acquisition areas range from 10 mm diameter to 1 mm diameter.  Some common applications are: film and antireflective coating analysis; color measurement and matching; and optical density analysis.
