RCN range

High temperature cavity black body

From visible domain to low infrared

RCN reference sources are high-temperature cavity black bodies covering a wide wavelength range, from visible to low infrared domain. They consist of a compact emissive head, controlled by a state-of-the-art 2U electronic unit and its intuitive, touch-sensitive color display.

The cavity structure achieves unparalleled uniformity and emissivity.
