A variety of accessory modules provide positive sample positioning, temperature control, and electrical probing capabilities, as well as a light bias system (based in laser diodes) to allow the measurement of tandem (double junction) solar cells. Allows for simultaneous measurement of EQE and the reflective losses to quantify IQE.
