Setting Up the Agera
The Agera is a dual beam 0-degree illumination and 45-degree circumferential detection
spectrocolorimeter with a wavelength range from 400 to 700 nanometers (nm). It is designed for use
with the sample port facing up or forward.
The optical delivery and collection system combined with port openings of nominally 51 mm (2 in), 25.4
mm (1 in), and 16.9 mm (0.625 in) delivers measurement of semi non-homogenous samples such as
pellets, granules, and textured flat samples including textiles, plastics, paper. The multiple viewing area
accommodate powders, opaque and semi-opaque sauces and liquids.
