The combined cuvette holder, attenuator and filter holder offers the most flexible setup. Control the light throughput from 0-100%, use the cuvette holder for any cuvette up to 10x10 mm, and add half inch diameter (12-13 mm) filters of 1-8 mm thick.
Read MoreThe Beam Splitter gives you a flexible option for using dual light sources or spectrometers. It mounts directly to the front of any AvaSpec spectrometer or AvaLight light source, eliminating the fiber interface.
Read MoreThe fiber-optic switch from Avantes facilitates the automatic shuttering of a spectrometer or to correct for light source drift. Can be used automatically or operated electronically via a TTL pulse from an external source or AvaSpec spectrometer.
Read MoreAvantes offers three additional types of flow cells: A long-pass absorbance flow cell that is designed for measuring low concentrations of substances; an absorbance flow cell, available in different optical path lengths: 2.5 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, and 20 mm, and a fluorescence flow cell that can analyze samples using the fluorescence technique.
Read MoreThese in-line flow cells are available for tubing diameters of 1/4, 1/2 and 1 inch. The flow cells consist of Swagelok union cross tube fittings and two UV/VIS/NIR collimating lenses.
Read MoreThe micro flow cells feature a Z-design and can easily be coupled to 1.5 mm PTFE tubing with 0.5 mm inner diameter. Typically these are used for absorption measurements and HPLC applications.
Read MoreA collimating lens is used to convert divergent beams of light into a parallel beam.

An integrating sphere works as a light collector. The light collected can be used as a diffuse illumination or measurement source. The basic principle is that light enters the sphere through the sample port, goes through multiple reflections on the highly reflective, Lambertian surface of the sphere and is scattered uniformly around the interior of the sphere.
Read MoreProvides up to 160 times more light on your sample for a reflection measurement relative to our standard reflectance integrating sphere. The sphere provides diffused halogen light on your sample without the losses associated with fiber-optic coupling.
Read MoreAvantes offers the AvaSphere-100, -150 and -200mm for the measurement of high powered LEDs and sources.
Read MoreThe variable collimating lens holder is the perfect tool for transmission measurements of samples of various sizes and thicknesses. The vertical bars can be adjusted to samples up to 160 mm thick. The base is made of anodized aluminum and features adjustable mount bars.
