Perhaps you already own half of an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer

Here's the other half.If your lab is equipped with a Beckman DU', DU*-2, or DBI Spectrophotometerthis new Atomic Absorption Accessory is the second half of the finest and most sensitiveatomic absorption analytical system. It costs but half of what you would expect.Even if you don't have a Beckman Spectrophotometer, you can obtain both theaccessory and the basic instrument for less than competitive systems. More important,the Atomic Absorption Accessory coupled with a Beckman Spectrophotometergives you a "triple purpose" instrument capable of high-sensitivity atomic absorptionand flame emission analyses, as well as other spectrophotometric analyses. Youcan change immediately from one technique to the other.The Atomic Absorption Accessory can be attached to the Beckman DU, DU-2 and DB.Orders for the accessory may be placed now on a reservation basis. If you areplanning the purchase of a UV spectrophotometer you will want to consider its AtomicAbsorption capabilities. The Beckman DU-2 and DB now offer this extendedcapability and are available for immediate delivery.For additional data, delivery dates, prices, and an introductory brochure about thislow-cost, high-sensitivity Atomic Absorption Accessory, contact your local BeckmanSales Engineer. Or write for Data File LUV-565.

...the most usefulSpectropolarimetermoney can buy

The Durrum-Jasco* Model ORD/UV-5combines the most useful set ofmeasurement capabilities ever pre-sented in an Automatic Spectropo-larimeter. With standard equipment,a single instrument can display pre-cise recordings of:* Optical Rotatory Dispersion from

1850 to 7000 A* Optical rotation kinetics* Optical density or percent trans-

mittance from 1800 to 7000 A* Specific or observed rotationThese additional standard featuresconfirm the validity of your ORDrecordings:* Continuous slit-width recording* Continuous photomultiplier

voltage recording* Wavelength scale expansion for

analysis of structural detailBreadth of the Model ORD/UV-5'scapabilities is matched only by thesimplicity and convenience of itsoperation. And although you wouldexpect to pay much more, the priceis only $22,950.For further information, write toDurrum Instrument Corporation,925 East Meadow Drive, Palo Alto,California 94303.
