The Cary Model 14 UV-VIS Spectrophotometer was a double beam recording spectrophotometer designed to operate over the wide spectral range of ultraviolet, visible and near infrared wavelengths (UV/Vis/NIR). This included wavelengths ranging from 185 nanometers to 870 nanometers.[1] (The Cary Model 14B, almost identical in exterior appearance, measured wavelengths from .5 to 6.0 microns.)[2]

The Cary 14 spectrophotometer was first produced in 1954 by the Applied Physics Corporation, which later was named the Cary Instruments Corporation after co-founder Howard Cary.[1] The instrument was a successor to the Cary 11, which was the first commercially available recording UV/Vis spectrophotometer.[3] It was produced until 1980, and refurbished models can still be obtained.
