High-band-pass Echelle spectrograph ANDOR an Oxford Instruments company Features and Benefits • Compact and robust design with no moving components Ideal for non-lab based applications • Simultaneous high resolution and high bandpass Single acquisition covers 775 nm with a resolution power up to 6,000 nm • Patented optical design Ensures maximum resolution and high bandpass with extremely low crosstalk • Auto-temperature correction Corrects for the variation of prisms optical refractive index with temperature • N2 purged Sealed, nitrogen backfilled enclosure minimizes degradation in performance, due to moisture-laden air, especially in the UV region • Pre-aligned detector/spectrograph solution Enables fast, efficient experimental set-up • Low F/number Highly efficent light collection • Wide range of accessories available Including fibre optics, slits, aiming Laser, collector/collimator and calibration lamps • Andor Solis software Automatically extracts a full wavelength calibrated spectrum from a complex echelle image and offers system advanced data manipulation capabilities • Peak labelling with NIST table Easy tagging of known atomic species at the press of a button Simultaneous high bandpass and high resolution Echelle spectrograph Andor’s Mechelle ME5000 spectrograph has been designed to provide simultaneous recording of a wide wavelength range (200 - 975 nm) in one acquisition. It has no moving components and is available in a pre-aligned detector/spectrometer format. Based on the echelle grating principal, its patented optical design provides extremely low crosstalk and maximum resolution compared with other spectrographs. It is designed to operate with Andor’s New iStar DH334T intensified camera^7 and the iKon-M DU934P-yy-9FL camera in applications such as LIBS and plasma studies. Specifications Wavelength range (nm) 200 - 975 Spectral resolution (A/AA) •1 Up to 6,000 (corresponding to 3 pixels FWHM) Wavelength accuracy Better than ± 0.05 nm Channel height (pixels) ^ 5, 3, 1 Channel width (pixels) 1 Optical adjacent order crosstalk * Better than 1 x 10-2 Stray light * Better than 1.5 x 10-4
