UV-Visible Reflection/Backscatter Probes

A reflection/backscatter probe is a compact, versatile sampling option to measure diffuse and specular reflectance, backscatter, or fluorescence from samples as varied as solids, solutions, and powders. Reflection and backscatter measurements can provide quantitative information about the color, appearance, and chemical composition of a sample.

We offer reflection/backscatter probes in a variety of fiber core sizes and wavelength ranges. Custom options are also available.
