Test & Measurement Services

Klar offers measurement services to provide clients with photoluminescence (PL) and Raman maps of their samples. Klar will deliver maps, data sets, and peak fits for samples ranging from micron-to-centimeter sizes. Klar is presently offering deep UV, UV, visible, and near IR spectral maps (266 - 1700 nm).

What Klar Microscope Users are Saying

  • No one else supplies anything like this.

  • We had to pick ourselves up off the floor when we learned it did simultaneous PL and Raman.

  • Easiest installation we ever had.

  • We rate equipment based on the number of swear words we have to use. Klar's score is zero.
