FSM150Xe - Monochromator / Lightsource
The FSM150Xe fast-switching monochromator (100nm in <1-6ms) was purposely designed for use in fluorescence and spectroscopic imaging.
The design of the continuously tunable (280-700nm) light source maximises the optical power available from a75W xenon lamp producing up to 5mW in 12nm bandwidth.
Light source Integral 75W high-brightness Xe lamp and power supply unit. Typical output >4mW in 12nm bandwidth at 475nm.
Wavelength range 280-700nm 1nm resolution ± precision using 1200g/mm grating
Switching time 3ms max per wavelength change, <2ms for 100nm wavelength change, typcial 200nm step complete to within 1nm in 1.6ms, 60nm step within 1nm in 1.0ms
Output bandwidth 6, 12, 20 & 40 via user selectable slit set. Other bandwidths to 1nm are available.
Coupling High throughput robust silica fibre or liquid light guide allowing ease of mounting to microscope adapter
Construction Monolithic unit, ideally suited for OEM applications
Control interface: 0 to 3.2V dc signal and TTL shutter
Optional PC interface card and driver
Calibration data supplied with each unit
