Product Review
The CamSpec M550 is an advanced yet straightforward instrument with very good reliability and consistency due to the double beam optics. Our old single beam system took up a lot of time blanking and swapping samples. The easy-to-use interface allowed us to upgrade and continue testing without having to learn a complicated software. We were impressed by the thorough instrument demonstration by Mark – he really knew his stuff and was able to guide us through the use and operation of the instrument, exactly how it all works. I would absolutely recommend Spectronic CamSpec to other companies looking for quick and easy service with a personal touch.
