Special features of the lamp include (but are not limited to) the following:
Hand-selected for high-energy filament placement
Coated internally and externally for maximum NIR performance
Welded wire connectors to minimize resistance and assure consistent illumination
Tested for low-noise spectroscopic performance
To reset the instrument lamp timer in the XDS
instrument:
1. Right-click on the lamp icon at the lower
