The Agilent Cary 7000 Universal Measurement Spectrophotometer provides high-sensitivity optical measurements across the ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis), and near-infrared (NIR) spectral regions. The system supports transmission, absorbance, reflectance, variable-angle, and polarization-dependent measurements for liquids, thin films, coatings, and solid materials.
Equipped with the Universal Measurement Accessory (UMA), the Cary 7000 enables advanced characterization of optical materials and surfaces through automated angle-dependent and polarization-resolved spectroscopy.
