Five superimposed scans show Model 15's excellent photometric and wavelength reproducibility. For sample spectra and per­ formance details, send for Data File A237-82.

Traditional Cary performance is built in. Advanced design ο

provides precision and reliability over 1750-8000 A range: At ο

1850 A, near zero absorbance, photometric accuracy is 0.002 ο

with 0.3 A resolution ...even at 2.0 absorbance, photometric ο

accuracy is 0.008 with 3 A resolution. Functional design gives new ease of operation. Coupled scan and chart drive permit varying scan speed without affecting wavelength presentation. Separate, synchronous chart drive also provided for kinetic studies. APPLIED PHYSICS CORPORATION 2 7 2 4 SOUTH PECK ROAD · MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA
