INTRODUCTION 

1.1

 

General Information 

Gamma Scientific’s SpectralLED® Tunable LED Light Source (Model: RS-7) is a multi-channel light source capable 
of providing  single channel illumination or broadband  illumination using multiple channels. It is designed to 
simulate broadband illuminants or any arbitrary spectrum by precisely combining the output of its LED channels 
closely recreate real-world spectra. Gamma Scientific’s RS-7 features near perfect linearity and uniformity over 
the entire intensity range, and comes with NIST-traceable absolute calibrations.
