High Resolution, Ultra-Low Stray Light,  Covers a Wide Wavelength Range from Ultraviolet to Near-Infrared

 and Wide Measurement Wavelength Range  The wavelength range of 185 to 3,300 nm enables measurement over the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions. In
               addition, the acquired spectra exhibit little noise across the entire range.

 The UV-3600i Plus is equipped with a high-performance, grating-grating double monochromator, and
 achieves a low stray-light level with high resolution. The wavelength range is 185 to 3,300 nm. This   The figure on the right shows a spectrum obtained by measuring   100.000
