MonoSpec 18 Monochromator / Spectrograph - Genesis Laboratories - Jarrell Ash Physical Science Products - Monochromaters, Spectrographs, Gratings, Detectors, Power Supplies...

The MonoSpec 18 Monochromator/Spectrograph is the ultimate in high quality compact instruments. Only 6.5 x 6.5 x 5 inches, it features much greater user flexibility than any instrument on the market today. The MonoSpec 18's 90° optical configuration lends itself to easy adaptability in OEM system design.

Because its kinematic grating is easily interchanged, the MonoSpec 18 has a wavelength range that extends from 190 nm - 40µm. There are many gratings available to suit a variety of requirements for resolution and dispersion. Plus ... scattered light is at a minimum due to the Crossed Czerny-Turner optical design, which also virtually eliminates re-entry spectra.

By a simple change in the exit flange, the MonoSpec 18 is converted from a monochromator to a spectrograph. The MonoSpec 18 Model 82-479 Spectrograph is configured to provide an expanded focal plane at the exit port when the spectrograph flanges are in place. This unique feature allows the user to interface the MonoSpec 18 with a variety of multielement detectors including CCD, or photodiode systems.

Monochromators are passive optical devices that can be used to present one wavelength of light at a time. They include an optical configuration of lenses and mirrors, a separating element (commonly a diffraction grating), and an optomechanical means for selecting the wavelength of light displayed.
