The other option we have is our 10500 35 mm diameter

solar simulator. The spatial uniformity of this simulator


however is not very good. For the full illuminated 35 mm
diameter field you can expect uniformity to be 25 - 30%.
The price of the 10500 with a uniform illumination
accessory is $6,122.00 (RM25158.36).

turner is available.

Complete test solutions


Best test results are obtained when the 10500 is equipped
with one of the class B uniformity capable Uniform
Illumination Accessories, see ordering information, which can
be ordered with working distances to 450 mm and offer a 10513
manual shutter option. A low cost 15151 calibrated reference
cell facilitates quantitative metrology.
