More than 15,000 Coleman diffraction Grating Spectrophotometers are used in laboratories throughout the world. They have gained this wide acceptance because they deliver precise data more quickly and easily than any other spectro photometer. They have proved themselves to be rugged and reliable in laboratory service. The Coleman Universal Spectrophotometer is ideal for the laboratory with a variety of ana lytical problems and a heavy work-load. Fast, precise, versatile in spectrophotometry—fluorimetry—nephelometry. The Coleman Junior Spectrophotometer —the most practical and effective of all analytical tools for routine spectrophotometric analysis. 15 years of service and thousands of published pro cedures illustrate its reliability and recognition by the highest authorities in analytical chemistry. New literature available. Junior Spectrophotometer Bulletin B-240A Universal Spectrophotometer Bulletin B-241
