RAMSPEC VUV 0.3-0.6 SPECTROMETER

spectrometer-VUV-RamSPEC-01-Resonance

VUV Spectrometer

RamSPEC-VUV captures the hyper-spectral Raman spectral images on a 25 mm by 7 mm back-thinned CCD detector cooled to <-45 C.  It can capture 1044 pixel wide spectra with up to 0.01 nm resolution with as many as 256 vertical elements for each spectral element.  The operational range of the spectrometer is any 10 nm band between 140 and 550 nm.

RamSPEC-VUV is the first commercial Raman spectrometer available for the VUV region of the spectrum and the first instrument to measure Raman scattering signal in the VUV range of 177 - 190 nm.

The system has been designed to allow interchangeability between various grating arrangements for optimum configuration.
