CM-16d Spectrophotometer
- Vertical orientation: The CM-16d features a vertical orientation, which makes it easier to measure small and curved samples.
- Wavelength Analysis & Adjustment (WAA): The CM-16d is equipped with WAA technology, which compensates for any wavelength shift that may occur due to external factors such as temperature changes or aging.
- Improved measurement speed and repeatability: While not as fast as the CM-17d, the CM-16d still offers reasonably fast measurement times and good repeatability.
- Inter-instrument agreement (IIA): The CM-16d has a high IIA, which means that measurements taken with different CM-16d instruments will be consistent.
- Wireless connectivity: The CM-16d can be connected to a computer or other device via Wi-Fi, making it easy to transfer and analyze measurement data.
