Advanced Mercury Light Source

Mercury (Hg) light sources are gas discharge lamps renowned for their high-intensity, discrete spectral lines, making them ideal for applications requiring intense illumination from the deep UV to the visible light regions. Unlike continuous sources, they emit bright peaks at specific wavelengths (e.g., 254 nm, 365 nm), which is crucial for techniques like fluorescence microscopy, UV curing, and calibration of spectrophotometers. Their ability to provide powerful, monochromatic-like light without filters offers significant advantages in efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio. While limited for broad-spectrum analysis, their unmatched intensity at key spectral lines ensures they remain indispensable in specialized scientific and industrial fields.
