Carter-Scott Design Middleton SP02 Sunphotom eter

The Middleton SP02 Sunphotom eter is a sim ple low-cost instrum ent for the determ ination of the spectral
optical depth of the atm osphere. It consists of four precision spectro-pyrheliom eters axially aligned in
a sealed enclosure.

Four narrow-bandwidth channels operate sim ultaneously

Low- noise signal am plifiers with negligible drift

External gain trim for each channel (via rear access ports)

Tem perature output for therm al response correction
