24 Jan 2011 The BIP2.0 is a compact, fiber coupled integrating sphere device designed as a sampling accessory for measuring diffuse reflectance using any fiber optic spectrometer from B&W Tek, Inc. The two inch diameter integrating sphere is machined from PTFE which is highly reflective (>97%) over a broad spectral range of 350 to > 2600nm.
The BIP2.0 includes a light source housing that contains a long-life 20 Watt Tungsten Halogen lamp which emits over the UV-Vis-NIR spectrum. A remote control port is provided on the rear for versatile remote On / Off modulation, operating current monitoring, and external operating current control. Slow ramp start is built into the source to ensure stability and long-life operation.
The housing includes a miniature fan and cooling fins that provide thermal stability of the light source. The BIP2.0 operates on a 12 V DC power adapter which is supplied with the device. |
