OSRAM ZN/10 1A PICO SPEKTRAL – Zinc Spectral Lamp 15 V · 1 A (15 W) with Pico 9 base for optics and spectroscopy
The OSRAM ZN/10 1A PICO SPEKTRAL is a high-precision zinc spectral lamp designed to generate stable monochromatic lines in scientific and industrial applications. It operates at 15 V with a nominal current of 1 A ( 15 W ), incorporates a PICO9 base , and provides intense and constant irradiance in the characteristic lines of Zn, making it ideal for calibration, verification, and spectral excitation in physics, photophysics, analytical chemistry, and medical laboratories.
The compact bulb ( Ø 21 mm · length 102 mm ) facilitates its integration into optical bench setups and analytical equipment. According to the manufacturer, it is suitable for AC operation ; in practice, it is used with current limiting via a choke and specific discharge lamp power supplies. It is not a domestic product and is not intended for general lighting .
