ScienceScope Temperature High Sensor – Type K Thermocouple

The ScienceScope Advanced Light Sensor is designed for experiments that require highly accurate measurement of light intensity across a wide range of conditions. With a detection range from 0.3 to 100,000 lux and selectable fast or slow response modes, this sensor is ideal for both classroom science and advanced research investigations.

It provides excellent resolution, detecting variations as fine as 1 lux at 10 lux or 10 lux at 100 lux, ensuring reliable results whether measuring low light levels or bright illumination. The fast response mode is perfect for dynamic experiments such as studying how light output from a mains lamp changes over time. The slow response mode avoids mains interference, making it ideal for chemistry experiments like turbidity changes during reaction rate investigations.

Key Features

• Wide measurement range: 0.3 to 100,000 lux
• High resolution (better than 1 lux at 10 lux; 10 lux at 100 lux)
• Switchable fast and slow response modes
• Records at intervals from 1 ms (fast) to 1 s (slow)
• Suitable for both quantitative and comparative light experiments

Typical Applications

• Light intensity vs. distance investigations
• Measuring relative light intensities
• Rate of reaction experiments (e.g. turbidity monitoring)
• Optical irradiance studies
