Overview
The AELAB AE-SP1000 Series Visible / UV-Visible Spectrophotometer is engineered for precise optical measurement of absorbance, transmittance, and concentration. Designed for laboratory, environmental, and industrial quality control, it combines automatic wavelength control, digital data processing, and multi-source illumination for accurate photometric analysis across 190–1100 nm.
⚙️ Design & Construction
The AE-SP1000 Series employs a single-beam optical system with a 1200 line/mm diffraction grating to ensure high spectral resolution. The durable chassis integrates a Segment LCD (80×52 mm backlit display) for direct absorbance, transmittance, and concentration readings. Precision alignment and a modular lamp housing minimize stray light. The optical base is manufactured from corrosion-resistant alloy with anti-vibration mounting for stable long-term performance.
🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method
The instrument measures light absorption by passing a controlled wavelength through the sample and detecting transmitted intensity using a silicon photodiode detector. Automatic zero and 100 %T calibration functions ensure baseline accuracy, while automatic wavelength adjustment (≤ 0.5 nm step) eliminates manual error. UV-Visible switching uses an automatic light-seeking system that compensates for lamp changes and mechanical shifts.
