Vitrinite Reflectance Measurements with Spectroscopy & Imaging

The 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer is designed to add spectroscopy, color imaging, and vitrinite reflectance capabilities to your optical microscope. It can also be used to upgrade an older microspectrometer with cutting edge optics, electronics and software.

The 508PV™ attaches to an open photoport and enables you to collect transmission, reflectance, polarization or even fluorescence and luminescence spectra of microscopic samples.  Featuring Lightblades™ spectrophotometer technology from CRAIC, the 508PV™ spectrophotometer has a usable spectral range from the ultraviolet to the near infrared.  With the 508PV™, you can acquire high quality spectra of even sub-micron samples rapidly, non-destructively and with ease.

The 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer is ideal for diverse applications such as colorimetry of pixels on flat panel displays, reflectometry of vitrinite coal and source rock, or thin film thickness measurements of optics and semiconductors. The 508PV™is also a cost effective way to upgrade older microspectrometers to the latest hardware and software.

Introduction

The Universal C-mount Adapter™ from CRAIC Technologies was designed for three things:

1. Fit to many microscope models and brands.

2. Adding any camera or spectrophotometer to a microscope photoport.

3. Allowing the camera image to be both parfocal and parcentral with the image from the microscope's eyepieces.

The Universal C-mount Adapter accomplishes all these tasks.  With a proprietary design, it is able to move in the X, Y and Z axes and to allow you easily make your camera image parfocal and parcentral with that of the eyepieces.

With flexible flange design, the Universal C-mount Adapter can be used with many different microscope models and brands.  Just tell us which model microscope that you are using.
