|
UV-VIS Spectrophotometer UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer is used to measure the absorption,transmission and reflection details of the sample ultraviolet, visible and near infrared regions. |
 |
|
FTIR Spectrophotometer FTIR is used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption, emission, photo conductivity of solid, liquid and gas samples. |
