UV Filter Calibration
The procedure for calibrating the adjustable UV filter is performed in reflectance mode, and
requires the use of a UV calibration standard obtainable from a number of standardization
organizations. Datacolor provides a fluorescent white tile (Fluorescent Reference
Standard) that may be used as a reference standard after the instrument has been
calibrated for UV using an official UV calibration standard. An applicable whiteness value
can only be assigned to the Datacolor Fluorescent Reference Standard after the instrument
has been calibrated for UV using an official UV calibration standard. This procedure
requires the selection of specific software options.
See also the Datacolor TOOLS User’s
Guide, which contains step-by-step instructions to calibrate the adjustable UV filter.
NOTES
This calibration procedure is critical to the accurate measurement, either reflectance or
transmittance, of fluorescent samples.
If you are sharing either reflectance or transmittance data for fluorescent samples, the
adjustable UV filter in each of the instruments must be calibrated regularly.
