OSRAM HG/100 0.6–1A PICO SPEKTRAL - Mercury spectral lamp 22 W (45 V, PICO9 base, AC/DC)
The OSRAM HG/100 0.6–1A PICO SPEKTRAL (also referred to as Hg 100 ) is a mercury spectral lamp designed as a high-quality monochromatic source for spectral calibration and analysis . It offers intense and stable irradiance in the characteristic mercury lines, with 22 W of power, 45 V of voltage, and a nominal current of 1.0 A. Its AC/DC connection provides flexibility for use in optical benches and scientific equipment, while the PICO9 base and compact size ( 100 × 21 mm ) facilitate integration into lampholders and specific mounts. It is a robust solution for optics, photophysics, spectroscopy, chemical engineering, and medical laboratories where a reproducible and reliable discrete line source is required.
