Diode array spectrometer for NIR
NIR spectroscopy - new perspectives for the analyst



A new spectrum of use


Chemometric evaluation processes are being used for qualitative and quantitative
analyses. However, the increasing demands on quality and production controls,particularly in the area of foods, agriculture or synthetic materials require high levels of reliability, stability and reproducibility of measuring results - and thus the quality of the equipment used. On the basis of the proven MCS/MMS polychromator principle, Carl Zeiss has developed a diode array spectrometer system, which not only meets the requirements mentioned above, but also opens up new dimensions in the sensitivity of fibre-optical waveguides. Measurements in the millisecond range become possible, which up to now were difficult or impossible to achieve even with considerably more expensive systems. In addition, the optimization of the waveguide technology also permits the low-loss connection of a wide range of different measuring heads and probes.

Welcome to the realm of unlimited possibilities

You want to measure the entire region of the spectrum from 220 nm up to 2200 nm in seconds and see the result on your monitor immediately?
You already have a UV-VIS spectrometer of the MCS 500 series and you would like to combine it with a MCS 511? Or do you have diverse measuring jobs in
your production and the probes must be installed hundreds of meters apart?
No problem - thanks to the modular concept of the MCS 500 product family.

Up to five MCS 500 systems of random regions of the spectrum may be cascaded directly with one another. Simply connect the first system via the RS 422 interface to the PC. Some Zeiss software packages are even capable of recognizing the number of connected units automatically and configure them immediately. However, the spectral and optical characteristics of spectrometer, light sources and probes must be matched to each other. We will be glad to assist you with that task.


Your analysis looks impressive under a microscope



How about measurements with probes in the micrometer range? For instance, the examination of individual fibres, the analysis of seeds or the evaluation of smallest particles? Simply connect the MCS 511 NIR to a microscope. The high level of light sensitivity and the waveguide coupling permit this kind
of operation.
