General Information
 PTI’s QuantaMasterTM 60 is unique in that you can elect to use various light sources to best meet your needs. The standard light source is the 75 W xenon lamp, which acts as an almost perfect point source, making it ideal for delivering a lot of optical power to a small area, such as the slit of a monochromator. In addition it is an excellent broadband light source in the UV-VIS portion of the spectrum, reasonably continuous throughout the region from 240 to 1200 nanometers. You can even get the 75 W xenon lamp in the extended UV version, to 180 nm (optional).
For more detail on other light source options, please refer to our light source options in the systems enhancement section.
Model A-1010B Lamp Housings
PTI’s sealed housing requires no ozone venting, and 75-watt arc lamps air-cooled. The integrated arc lamp power supply and igniter is virtually completely RF emission free.
It isn’t the wattage of the lamp that is important; rather it is the power that gets to your sample that should matter. Thanks to its proprietary thermally matched and high efficiency collection optics, the PTI source boasts more power than a 450-watt lamp, when used in conjunction with a monochromator.
ECO-Friendly
Less power in, more power out, more efficient use of energy, and a sealed housing with no ozone pollution, makes the PTI QuantaMaster™ the first and only ECO-friendly spectrofluorometer system.

Technical Information on Lamps
Compact Arc Lamps
High-pressure gas discharge lamps having an arc length, which is small compared with the size of the electrodes, are called short arc or compact arc lamps. Depending on rated wattage and intended application, the arc length of these lamps may vary from about a third of a millimeter to about a centimeter. These lamps have the highest luminance and radiance of any continuously operating light source and are the closest approach to a true "point" source.
Xenon Lamps
Xenon compact arc lamps are filled with several atmospheres of xenon gas. They reach 80% of final output within 10 minutes or less of starting. The arc color is very close to daylight (6000°K). The spectrum is continuous in the visible range and extends far into the ultraviolet.
