POLARIMETRY LAMPS AND STANDARDS
Long Lifetime Source Lamps
High-quality source lamps, specially selected to optimize the
performance of all PerkinElmer polarimeters, offer high radiant
energy and a long operating lifetime. Their high output ensures
that very accurate measurements of optical rotation can be made,
even when the sample absorbs strongly.
