OverviewThe PMA-12 is a compact spectral measurement system that integrates a spectrometer and optical detector into a single unit. High sensitivity enables spectrum acquisition by positioning an optical fiber near the sample without a dedicated light collection system. The spectrometer and photo-detector are manufactured with high mechanical accuracy for long-term stability. Wavelength axis and spectral response are calibrated for accurate measurements.
Features- Integrated spectrometer, detector and power supply in a compact housing
- Real-time measurements with simultaneous monitoring of multiple wavelengths
- Fiber-optic compatibility for simple sample coupling
- Calibrated wavelength axis and spectral response
- Configurable for various applications with optional accessories
Measurement modes- Standard measurements: Emission spectra of light sources, fluorescence, plasma and related measurements
- Reflective measurements: Spectral reflectance for optical filters and coatings
- Transmittance and absorption measurements: Spectral transmittance and absorption for filters, films and solutions
- Chromaticity (light-source color): Determination of light-source color for illumination and LEDs
- Chromaticity (object color): Color evaluation of paints, textiles and printed materials
