Heraeus

Line sources

Line sources
For applications that require single or multiple line spectra and for the calibration of instruments, Heraeus offers precision line sources. They have a high UV radiation flux of the virtually monochromatic spectral lines as well as an exceptional reproducibility of the wavelength.
