    Introduction Introduction Intended use of the SPECORD S600 The SPECORD S600 is a powerful, computer-controlled high-performance diode ar- ray spectrophotometer for the measurement of the transmission, absorbance, reflec- tion as well as the energy of liquid and solid samples. It is designed for measure- ments in the spectral range 190 to 1020 nm.
  • Page 6 Introduction For easier navigation within the manual, the manual uses the following system:  Chapters and illustrations are numbered consecutively.  Every illustration has its own caption.  Steps of operation are numbered.  Cross-references are marked by an arrow (e.g. →Intended use of the SPECORD S600 p.5)
  • Page 7: Safety Notes

    Safety notes Safety notes Warning labels on SPECORD S600 Observe the warning labels on the SPECORD S600! The following warning labels have been affixed to the lamp housings of the SPECORD S600. Danger! UV radiation! Do not look directly or indirectly via a mirror into the radiation emitted by the UV lamp.
  • Page 8 Safety notes Local safety regulations! Observe the local safety regulations relevant to the operation of the device (e.g. labor- safety regulations, regulations for the prevention of and protection against accidents). References to possible risks given in this manual do not replace the relevant labor- safety regulations that are to be followed.
  • Page 9 Safety notes UV radiation! On the SPECORD S600, a deuterium lamp delivers the radiation for the UV measuring range. While measurements are running, UV radiation transmits the sample compart- ment in the sample beam. In measurement breaks, no UV radiation is accessible there, as the sample beam is closed by a shutter.

    Device description and operating principle Device description and operating principle Mechanical design The appearance of the SPECORD S600 is marked by the lamp compartment on the right side, the central sample compartment that is open to three sides, and the poly- chromator section on the left side.
  • Page 13: Operating Principle

    Device description and operating principle Light sources The light sources used are a halogen lamp for the VIS and in- frared region and a deuterium lamp for the UV region. The lamp-selector slider serves to couple the light of either the halogen or the deuterium lamp, or the light of both lamps sim- ultaneously into the optical path.
  • Page 14 Device description and operating principle In absorption measurements, the incident intensity I (reference value) and the in- tensity I attenuated by the sample is measured at every wavelength of interest. Measurement is in arbitrary units, as only the ratio of both values is of importance. Quantitatively, the absorption behavior is expressed in transmission T[%] or absorp- tion A: However, also the dark current must be considered for result generation.
