OTS-00000-000-02-1008
About the System
The OTS covers the 380-780 nm wavelength range and accepts samples from 10-150 mm in diameter and
up to 10 mm thickness. The system consists of the following components:
• High-resolution miniature linear CCD-
array USB2000 Spectrometer configured
for 380-780 nm (SLIT-50, Grating #1)
• High-power, tungsten halogen light
source
• Fiber optic integrating sphere for
collecting signal transmitted through the
sample
• Optics for improved beam collimation
and spectral sensitivity distribution
(including a BG34 Schott standard
colored glass filter for greater sensitivity
and less noise in the total visible
spectrum)
• Short optical fiber to channel signal from the integrating sphere to the spectrometer
• Customized lens transmittance and color calculation software measures and displays up to 10
measurements at once. This custom software calculates T(avg 380-780nm), Luminous
Transmittance Tv, and color: L* a* b*, hue (h) and Chroma (C*).
