The Caim Arc-lamp □ptosource Ultra Stable High Intensity Arc Lamp rs s powerful sélection of ultra-high s^ability, high intensity mercury, xénon and mercury/xénon light sources. Available in two basic configu­rations, the'original CLASSIC and the higher output OPTO SOURCE, both models are configured to produce high inten­sity focussed light for coupling either to the input slit of a monochromator, or directly into a light guide. Dérivations of of the original design with the flexibility of two user defined power settings and real time switching between thèse two states. □ Optosource Lamphouse The Optosource ultra-high point intensity lamp house is designed for use with our Optoscan monochroma­tor. It uses a large dielectric coated ellipsoidal mirror to concentrate the energy from the lamp onto a very small point The vertical lamp mount makes it suit able for use with a range of mercury, xénon and mercury/xénon lamps. Optical alignment (often a problem with arc-lamp housings) is achieved by a very simple arrangement of three screws for horizontal, vertical and focus ad-justment The lamp house is also provided with an en-closed focussing screen for safe and easy set up and trouble-shooting □ Key Benefits Ultra-high stability power supply and lamphouse design with external thermistor-controlled fan for température régulation Variable power supply and modular électrode haïri­ons aliows a fuli choice of 75 - 150 Watt Xénon, Mercury or mixed gas lamps Ellipsoïdal reflectors for high efficiency without spherical or chromatic aberrations Balanced proprietary low-impedance igniter circuit incorporated inside the lamp-house for low interfér­ence émissions at switch on - our light sources will NOT damage your other equipment! D ClaSSÎC (option] Our classic lamp house, with its horizontal lamp mounting is highly efficient at focussing the energy from a 75 Watt lamp onto a small spot The magnifi-cation of the bright spot of the arc is greater than with the more expensive Optosource, but this is not a disadvantage for Systems which use optical filters and larger sizes of liquid light guide (typically 5mm]. It is also an economical choice for monochromator Systems where the application is not light-limited. Range of sliding and rotary filter changers Optosource lamp housings use a custom coated re-ffector optimised for peak efficiency between 300 and 50Dnm (other coatings available to order] Digital voltage, current and power meter, with auxil-iary hour counter to monitor lamp usage Digital TTL switching of power settîng allows higher peak output or longer lifespan by reducing steady drive current Constant-power aider lamps power supply will not Overdrive sales@cairn-research.co.uk tech@cairn-research.co.uk +44 (□] 1795 590140
