Technical Description
The Basic MicroLab Versa 428-B package includes an integrated Energy of Light (Planck’s Constant) experiment with visual and graphic monitoring of LED band gap energies from UV to IR. When the Versa Spectrophotometer and Light Sensor are added, it becomes an integrated chemistry measurement system.
Transmission/Scatter/Fluorescence nine-wavelength 383-880 nm spectrophotometer with manual wavelength selection. Basic measurements include temperature, voltage, and a 0-2 atm pressure sensor. The Versa can be operated remotely; remote students can run the control and analyze data from a Versaexperiment on an instructor’s desk via mouse control with Zoom or other internet conferencing software. This package also includes a Thermistor, Voltage Lead, a Gas Pressure Syringe, and a USB cable.
