New Instrument. Traditional Excellence
For over 60 years, Photo Research has had a reputation of manufacturing world class photometers that server the markets ranging from aerospace to agriculture. The PR-810 is one in new family of filter photometers that further extends and enhances our reputation. As with all our photomters, the PR-810 feature the Pritchard optical system for unparalleled target alignment. With the Pritchard system, the alignment and measuring optics are one in the same, so there is no misrepresentation of what is being measured. 
New Design
Thje PR-810 is unlike any of our previous photo multiplier tube (PMT) based photometers - it's battery powered! The Lithium- ion battery provides more that 12 hours of continuous operation providing the ultimate in portability. It also features a full color touch screen display, and 75 mm objective focusable from 14" (355 mm) to infinity.
Sensitivity
Low light applications are no problem for the PR-805. Using the largest of the 4 fully automated apertures, the PR-810 can measure down to 1E-4 (0.0001) footlambers. A fully automated Neutral Density (ND) filter turret provides 3 decades of source attenuation (10X, 100X and 1000X attenuation) resulting in 9 Million:1 dynamic range, wide enough for any contrast masurement taks.
Connectivitiy
For help in communicating with the outside world, the PR-810 is supplied with a USB interface and driver. The driver. The driver establishes a virtual COM port making control of the PR-810 as easy as communicating over RS232. If a traditional RS232 interface is a must, it can be supplied to complement the USB I/F. Want to go wireless? A Class 1 Bluetooth interface can be added for control of the PR-810 up to 100 meters away. For control of the PR-810, an on-board protocol - Remote Mode Software - allows you to make measurements and get the data you need by sending and receiving simple ASCII text commands making integration into an ATE or other environment a snap.
