MSC15-W

Polymerization Light Source Meter    

Dentists and dental surgeons regularly use polymer materials for dental restoration. Those materials are typically applied to teeth after dental surgery has happened in order to protect the teeth. To make the process of applying the materials as comfortable as possible for the patient, curing lights are typically used that allow shorter curing durations of the polymer materials. At the same time, this light polymerization process also saves time for the dentist and allows completing dental surgeries in shorter amounts of time.

Polymerization light sources are required to give off sufficient amounts of radiation to allow the polymerization process to happen. At the same time, the amount of radiation needs to stay within specific limits so they pose no harm to the patient. The MSC15-W allows testing dental curing lights in a fast and simple manner. Both the total output as well as the wavelength of the curing light are tested to make sure they operate according to specifications.

MSC15-W Polymerization and Curing Spectrum Meter    

The compact, hand-held MSC15-W light spectrum meter from Gigahertz-Optik GmbH focuses on the precise measurement of the radiant power and spectral distribution to enable the accurate power seperation over wavelength. Its cutting-edge design concentrates on measurement accuracy rather than unnecessary esoteric electronic features. This makes the MSC15-W a high quality Polymerization and Curing Spectrum Meter at an attractive price. The light sensor consists of a fast spectroradiometer that covers a spectral range between 360 nm and 830 nm with a spectral bandwidth of 10 nm. The device also integrates an optical bandwidth correction feature (CIE 214) in order to further improve the quality of the values calculated based on the spectral measurement data.

Special designed input optics for optical fibers used for polymerization plus a wide measurement range

Another key feature that ensures accurate measurements with its carefully designed entrance optic. The entrance optic allows the positioning of the optical fibre directly at the meter and fast and reliable measurements can be performed.

Intuitive simple color touch-screen operation

The colored touch screen of the device makes it extremely easy to use. Activating and deactivating of individual measurement displays is possible as well via a configuration menu which is implemented into the MSC15-W spectral light meter. Uninterrupted operation of more than 8 hours is provided by its lithium ion battery which is recharged via the USB 2.0. Remote control of the device and data read out are made possible by the supplied software.

Application Software

The included software allows control of the MSC15-W light meter device via its USB 2.0 interface.  It provides numerical and graphical displays for all the measured parameters. Measurement data can be stored, loaded and exported.  The software also enables the configuration of which display screens are active on the meter.

Store up Measurements internally

In addition, the MSC15-W is equipped with an internal memory  which can be used to store up measurements internally and read them out via software later. The device allows the comfortable management of the stored measurements on its screen.

Calibration of the MSC15-W Meter

One essential quality feature of photometric devices is their precise and traceable calibration. The MSC15-W is calibrated by Gigahertz-Optik’s calibration laboratory that is accredited by DAkkS (D-K-15047-01-00) for the spectral responsivity and spectral irradiance according to ISO/IEC 17025. Every device is supplied with its respective calibration certificate.
