State-of-the-Art Solution
Product Overview
Illuminating technology
Icon’s advanced dispersive spectrometer module brings greater precision to the measurement of color, opacity or concentration.
The Icon Color Opacity analyzer actually scans the visible spectrum from 350 to 1100nm at a rate of 15 times per second. With this technology we are able to give both color and opacity simultaneously. We are also able to run complex mixtures of different products as we are able to pick out the particular wavelengths of interest.
Color Opacity avoids the sensitivity losses and low transmission characteristics that compromise existing technologies using either optical filters or moving parts such as filter wheels and chopper motor assemblies.
How the Color Opacity analyzer works
A light source is transmitted through a sample and fed back to a dispersive spectrometer module for measurement.
Using a 12V 10W tungsten lamp, run under reduced voltage to increase lifespan, light passes out of the enclosure through an optical window and moves along a fiber-optic cable. The light enters the cell, passes through the test sample and out via a window and fiber-optic cable. It travels back into the enclosure where the optical transmission or absorbance measurements are carried out; these are fed into the control computer to calculate the final results.
The unique measurement versatility of the Color Opacity is maximized through flexible configuration options easily programmed to specific applications.
