1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Avantes AvaSphere-50-LS-HAL-12V. This complete new developed
sphere with light source will provide outstanding performance. To get the best of its performance it
perfectly matches all Avantes AvaSpec spectrometers.
Providing up to 160 times more light on your sample for a reflection measurement relative to our
standard reflectance integrating sphere, the AvaSphere-50-LS-HAL-12V is a valuable instrument for
reflection applications. It is a combination of an integrating sphere and a halogen light source. The
sphere provides diffused halogen light on your sample without the losses associated with fiber-optic
coupling. It has a direct collimated SMA-port for collection of the reflection signal with any of our
AvaSpec spectrometers.
It is mostly useful for dark or low reflecting materials and NIR spectral measurements where signal
strength can be limited. It is also very useful for measuring gem stones.
The AvaSphere-50-LS-HAL-12V has an internal diameter of 50mm, a sample port of 10mm and a SMA
terminated reference port. The 5W halogen bulb is stabilized and cooled with forced airflow.
The switch line makes it possible to remotely switch the light source on/off with a TTL signal.
