B&W Tek has rolled out a new fiber coupled integrating sphere device that determines diffuse reflectance with a fiber optic spectrometer. The BIP2.0 integrating sphere and light source is designed from PTFE product that is reflective across a wide spectral range of 350 to more than 2600 nm.
The sphere device consists of a light source casing that includes a 20 W Tungsten Halogen lamp. It comes with a remote control port for external operating current control, operating current monitoring, and remote On / Off modulation. The halogen lamp operates across the spectrum range of UV-Vis-NIR.
The housing comprises cooling fins and a miniature fan that offer thermal stability for the BIP2.0. In addition, the light source works on a 12 V DC power adapter that is available with the product. Furthermore, it has a slow ramp start to assure durable and stable operation.
