Go Direct SpectroVis Plus is a portable, visible to
near-IR spectrophotometer and fluorometer. This
spectrophotometer can be used in a wide range of
introductory spectroscopy experiments for chemistry, biology, and physics. Such
experiments include: determining the peak wavelength to collect data on
solution concentration for Beer’s law studies, collecting a full wavelength
spectrum to measure absorbance, percent transmittance, fluorescence, or
emissions, and monitoring rates of reaction.
