Other testimonials:
“We are very happy with the VUVAS... The repeatability and stability of the instrument is excellent. We thank you for engineering and building this instrument for us.” – E. Thomas, Ph.D., Bicron/St.Gobain
“The very first time I used the (Model 207) setup I made a photoluminescence experiment … I have never seen such beautiful data neither from colleagues or published in the literature … we have the world’s best luminescence setup and it is only up to us to make interesting experiments.” – Prof. D. Birkedal, Technical University of Denmark
“Your kind of 'above‐and‐beyond' customer support is becoming increasingly rare, and it reconfirms my decision to buy a McPherson monochromator.” – Prof. D.L. MacFarlane, University of Texas
