Rescuing the Cary 14. Again.
Old-but not dead yet!
Revitalized!!
We have a little bit of classic Apollo 11-era technology that we have been using for over 35 years! Many of you will remember the Cary 14 spectrophotometer from P-Chem or Biochem. The resolution and optics are still unparalleled, but alas the body is feeble from its last (1989) upgrade. We have contracted with Olis, Inc. a homegrown American company, to modernize this venerable instrument into a modern UV-Vis Near IR spectrophotometer that could not be found today for under $100,000! Saved again from the junkyard! Funds from Dr. Durcker's Dreyfus award, UWEC and the Foundation are responsible for this economical conservation of resources.
