High-Speed Scan at 60,000nm/min
Example of reaction tracing with a spectrum The fast-speed scanning enables users to carry out measurements that have been difficult with conventional instruments. In this example, an isomerization process of coumarin in kerosene was traced by spectrum measurement at 2-second intervals and displayed as a 3-D timescan spectrum. This is a new function in the F-7000. Previously, a quick reaction which occurs within 1 minute could be measured only by using the fixed-wavelength method. The F-7000 is capable of following such a quick reaction because of its fast scanning, measuring the entire wavelength range within 1 second.
Stigmatic concave diffraction grating, mechanically ruled, resulting in a very bright monochromator of F-number 2.2. Ruling engine. A dividing engine for ruling diffraction gratings, invented in 1880s by Henry Augustus Rowland of Johns Hopkins University. Compared to a holographic grating, mechanically ruled gratings have the following advantages: (1) Mirror-finished groove surface results in high diffraction efficiency. (2) Groove spacing required for aberration correction can be adjusted, making it possible to have a greater correction effect. These characteristics of mechanically ruled gratings work well to create an excellent monochromator.

Measurement of calcium in cell
Ca2+ concentration in cells With the optional interacellular calcium measurement accessory, the F-7000 can measure fluorescence intensity values at two wavelengths in EGF-injected COS-7 cells (extracted from a monkey's kidney), and calculate the concentrations of Ca2+. The sample was a cultivated cell fluorescence-labeled by Fura2-AM. The change in Ca2+ concentrations in the live cell was also measured. During this analysis, the EGF receptor appeared in the COS-7 as the Ca2+ level increased due to EGF injection. The Model F-7000 can measure biological samples with higher sensitivity and speed. Conc.
