Discover one of the most effective and accessible spectroscopy solutions for fluorescence analysis in gemology. This complete UV fluorescence kit is specially designed to reveal the luminescent properties of precious and semi-precious stones using a targeted 370 nm UV excitation source for optimal contrast and identification.
✅ O Spectrometer with Hamamatsu S11639 linear CCD detector for high sensitivity
✅ UV Light Source (370 nm) – available in fixed or variable power versions (ask for availability)
✅ Bifurcated Y Optical Fiber Probe – for simultaneous UV excitation and fluorescence signal collection
Please note:
The M Stand and Spectrometer Support shown in demonstrations are not included in this kit.
If you wish to order the adjustable (variable power) UV light source, or add the mounting stand, please contact Thunder Optics directly for support and pricing.
These accessories are available through our official store or upon request.
