Varian UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer (Optical Characterization)

2 December 2024

Varian UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer system is an optical characterization tool that can measure the reflection, transmission, and absorption spectra of both solid and liquid samples. Parameters such as material thickness, band gap, absorption coefficient, and refractive index can be calculated from the spectra obtained using this system.
