2.2 Overview of product
The LCS III is a VIS spectrophotometer with a wavelength range of
320 to 1100 nm. The instrument comes with a complete set of
application programs and multi-language support.
The LCS III contains the following application modes: Color scales
(pre installed), Single Wavelength Mode, Multi-Wavelength Mode,
Wavelength Scan and Time Course Mode.
The LCS III provides digital readouts in direct concentration units,
absorbance or percent transmittance.
The LCS III can carry out an exact colorimetric evaluation in
conformity with ISO/ASTM standards with just a single
measurement and display the result in terms of traditional color
systems such as Iodine, Hazen or Gardner color numbers.
Besides the 20 color indexes, transmittance and absorbance can
be measured at individual wavelengths, so that the LCS III can also
be universally used for analytical purposes in the laboratory.
