Purpose of the Shade Caps

Why do some of our instruments use Shade Caps?

Updated over 3 months ago

Many of the instruments we have use shade caps. Our C3, C6p, C-FLUOR, Cyclops-7F, FluoroSense, and the Handheld Little Dipper all benefit from this valuable accessory.
​
Submersible probes and handheld instruments often face challenges from constant battering from waves or direct sunlight in field environments. To ensure accurate measurements and as an added bonus to protect your equipment, we strongly recommend using the shade cap. It provides a fixed distance for sample measurement, minimizing the effects of ambient light. Additionally, the shade cap safeguards the optics from damage during deployment, recovery, and transport, especially in fast-flowing or shallow environments. Protect your investment and ensure reliable results with the shade cap.
