My 20 year affiliation with McPherson and the company's 50 year involvement in scientific instrument and component manufacturing and design has resulted in a product line serving the world with precision analytical tools. These tools enable scientists to investigate molecular and atomic spectra from the infrared into the soft x-ray and short ultraviolet wavelength regions. There is hardly an institute or research laboratory in the world which has not utilized some of our systems or published data obtained with the help of our instruments... instruments that range from miniature spectrometers to versions that weigh over 20 tons and span some 30 meters. McPherson's role in synchrotron instrumentation and fusion spectrometry is legendary. Spectrographs have been built to fly in space or fit into pockets. They were created in Normal Incidence, Grazing Incidence, Criss-Cross, Czerny-Turner, corrected Czerny-Turner, Seya-Namioka and patented McPherson and Schoeffel designs. We have played and play an important role as an outfitter and OEM supplier of private label spectrometers and spectrophotometers.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and many international institutions use our spectrometers and monochromators. Our vast experience in the vacuum range of the ultraviolet has helped us branch into the manufacture of components for the vacuum domain. You will find our manufactured vacuum systems, penetration welded components, and cold stages and mechanisms throughout the industries which employ vacuum and ultra-high vacuum technology.
Our customer list reads like "Who's Who". The broad use of our products has given us great strength and depth.
The product lines encompass:
Spectroscopy Products
Special Manufacturing Services
Analytical Instruments
Synchrotron Radiation Instrumentation
Optics for Science (our SORL group)
They are reflected on our web-site and in our catalogues. We assist customers and users. We also develop and manufacture scientific instruments and systems to solve specific analytical challenges.
We are ready to assist and invite your inquiries. We will certainly try to be of help and service to you.
