Introduction

Absolute Reflectance Measurement System

V-7000 Series Absolute Relfectance Measurement System
V-7000 Series Automated Absolute Reflectance Measurement System

Indium oxide doped with tin oxide (ITO), is used to make transparent conductive coatings. Thin film layers can be deposited by electron-beam evaporation or sputtering. Typical applications of ITO-coated substrates include touch panel contacts, electrodes for LCD and electrochromic displays, energy conserving architectural windows, fog resistant aircraft and automobile windows, heat-reflecting coatings to increase light bulb efficiency, gas sensors, anti-static window coatings and wear resistant layers on glass, among numerous other applications.
