- Page 3 INTRODUCTION The Spectroline 11SC-1, 11SC- and 36-380 quartz pencil lamps are small, low-pressure, mercury vapor discharge lamps made of double-bore material with both electrodes at one end. When used properly, they are very stable lamps and maintain a high output of ultraviolet radiation over several thousand hours.

• The 11SC-1 is a short wave (54nm) ultraviolet lamp with a lighted tube length of 1/8 in (5.4cm), 1/4 in (0.64cm) outside diameter (OD). It may be used alone or with any of three separately available light shields, each with a different aperture for directing the light. - Page 5 5. On/Off Switch Connects/disconnects power to lamp. 6.

OPERATION WARNING Avoid handling the quartz tube of the pencil lamp with fingers. Skin oils will etch the tube surface. Always use a clean cloth or gloves. PRELIMINARY CHECKS 1. The toggle switch of the power supply should be in the "OFF" position before it is plugged into the AC outlet. - Page 7 POLAR INTENSITY PROFILE All double-bore pencil lamps, such as the 11SC-1, 11SC- and 36-380, produce uneven irradiance around their quartz tubes, especially at close range. Distinct areas of lower irradiance occur near the glass-dividing wall, which is visible inside the tube between the two electrodes. Figure 3 illustrates the relative intensities around the 11SC-1 and 11SC- lamps, with respect to this wall.

(0.48 x 3.8cm) and is widely used in calibrating spectrophotometers. To operate, slip the open end of the light shield over the 11SC-1 lamp tube. The base of the shield should fit snugly over the lamp handle. With the power supply switched "on," point the open part of the shield toward the area to be illuminated. -
