Units for Microspectroscopy

Microspectrometers are used in many different fields.

Spectral Unit Conversions

Nanometers

Nanometers = 107 / Wavenumbers
Nanometers = 1000 * Microns

Microns (Micrometers)

Microns = 104 / Wavenumbers
Microns = Nanometers / 1000

Wavenumber (cm-1)
Wavenumbers = 104 / Microns
Wavenumbers = 107 / Nanometers

UV-visible-NIR spectra, such as those from the 2030PV PRO™ microspectrophotometer, are usually given in nanometers; Raman spectra, such as those from the Apollo M™ Raman microspectrometer, in wavenumbers.
