Add spectroscopy to your microscope
The 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer adds spectroscopy and digital color imaging to your optical microscope or probe station. It can also be used to upgrade an older microspectrometer with cutting edge optics, electronics and software.
The 508PV™ attaches to an open photoport and enables you to collect transmission, reflectance, polarization or even fluorescence and luminescence spectra of microscopic samples with a properly equipped microscope. Featuring the Lightblades™ spectrometer technology from CRAIC, the 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer has a usable spectral range from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. With the 508PV™, you can acquire high quality spectra of even sub-micron samples rapidly, non-destructively and with ease.
The 508PV™ microscope spectrophotometer is ideal for diverse applications such as colorimetry of pixels on flat panel displays, reflectometry of vitrinite coal and source rock, or thin film thickness measurements of optics and semiconductors. The 508PV™is also a cost effective way to upgrade older microspectrometers to the latest hardware and software.

UV-vis-NIR Microspectroscopy
Adding spectroscopy to your microscope™
|
The 508PV™ is a spectrophotometer, incorporating an imaging system, designed to add to any microscope or probe station with a photoport. Configurable for work ranging from the deep UV through the visible and into the near infrared, this powerful tool gives your systems new capabilities including film thickness measurements and colorimetry. Featuring Lightblades™ technology, the 508PV™ also allows you the ability to measure transmission, reflectance, polarization and photoluminescence spectra of even sub-micron samples. |

Photoluminescence
Cutting edge fluorescence & luminescence
| The 508PV™ can be configured for fluorescence and luminescence spectroscopy of even sub-micron samples. Featuring Lightblades™ technology and with the ability to measure the fluorescence and luminescence from the UV to the NIR, the 508PV™ is a powerful tool for photoluminescence analysis of materials sciences, biology, geology and more. |  |
Polarization
Polarization Microspectroscopy
| The 508PV™ can be configured to acquire the polarization spectra of microscopic samples. Featuring Lightblades™ technology, the 508PV™ polarization microspectroscopy capabilities allow you to acquire spectra of birefringent and other types of samples quickly and easily. |  |
Spectral Surface Mapping
|
Combines hardware and software for automated spectral analysis and 5D mapping of samples with microscopic spatial resolution. 5D maps of the absorbance, transmission, reflectance, fluorescence, emission and Raman spectra of samples may be generated. |
 |
Imaging & Microscopy
High resolution color digital imaging
| The 508PV™ features high resolution, color digital imaging with sophisticated software. It allows you to simultaneously see both the spectrophotometer entrance aperture and the sample. This makes it very easy to align the sample for measurements and to capture full color images under any measurement conditions. |  |
