SPECIFICATIONS
Calibration Traceability
Apogee MQ series quantum meters are calibrated through side-by-side comparison to the mean of four transfer
standard quantum sensors under high output T5 cool white fluorescent lamps. The reference quantum sensors are
recalibrated with a 200 W quartz halogen lamp traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST).
