Ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry has a well-deserved niche. Many UV-Vis instruments claim to work to the deep UV. Few instruments optimize for, or cater to, the 120 to 400 nm region. Development and manufacture of ultraviolet lasers, optics, crystalline materials, and resonance Raman instruments, as well as basic research, require a broadly useful instrument for analysis, characterization, and test.
