INTRODUCTION

The Spectroline CC-80 and CC-81 cabinets are specially designed for
efficient fluorescence analysis. Both units come equipped with a 25-watt
internal white light source, while the CC-81 is additionally supplied with
the Spectroline ENF-280C 365/254nm 8-watt UV lamp.

For a list of E-Series lamp models that work with either the CC-80 or CC-81
cabinets, please visit www.spectroline.com. Choose from the available
8-watt lamps listed under "E-Series Ultraviolet Hand-Held Lamps."

For greater epillumination options, these cabinets may be used with one
or two Spectroline E-Series UV lamps that are available in 254nm,
312nm or 365nm, or a combination of these wavelengths. For higher
UV intensity and increased fluorescent contrast with transillumination,
these units may be placed over a wide range of Spectroline UV
transilluminators.
