The MCS CCD Lab system is available in different versions: UV for the spectral range from 200 to 600 nm, and UV-NIR for 200 to 980 nm. The systems can have a USB 2.0 or PCI interface for the connection to the computer. Light guides can be connected via standard SMA connector as optical entrance. The electronic of the system provides full 16-bit resolution and due to the cooling of the detector integration times up to one minute can be realized.Built in the time-tested and sturdy design, the new MCS CCD provides all benefits of the proven MCS spectral sensors such as thermal stability and vibration resistance. The heart of the spectrometer is a module with a blazed flat-field grating for light dispersion and imaging, fiber optical cross-section-converter as entrance slit and a cooled CCD detector. All optical components described have been permanently cemented together in a ceramic body. This technology results in a wavelength stability of the spectrometer modules which is better than 0.1 nm and thermal drift of less than 0.01nm/K.
Advantages:
- Very high sensitivity
- Detection of low light levels
- Use for diverse measuring tasks; e.g fluorescence measurement
- Robust and thermally stable
