The SS80 is a manual controlled bilaterally adjustable slit for the input or output port. Most Sciencetech monochromators/spectrograph models already include one SS80 slit at the input port but an additional one at the output port is usually required if the monochromator is mated to a single channel detector, PMT detector, or used as a tunable wavelength light source. If the dual port option is selected for a Sciencetech monochromator, an additional SS80 slit for the second port may also be required. The slit width can be adjusted between 0-6mm, in 10µm spacing using a micrometer thumbwheel. The height of the SS80 slit can also be adjusted between 10-20mm through a built-in manual curtain slider. The height adjustment slider can be changed to 20-30mm or 0-10mm, or to stepwise adjustable slider at additional cost, please specify at time of ordering.
 
Model 9010 Monochromator

Please note the the Model 9010 Monochromator already includes two slits for both input and output ports. Therefore, an additional SS80 slit is only required if the dual port option is selected and assuming that additional port requires an additional slit.  
 
Dual Input Port Option

If the monochromator or spectrograph has the dual input port option, an additional SS80 slit is likely required if the port is directly coupled to a light source. An additional SS80 slit is likely not required if the input port is mated to an incoming illumination fiber bundle. In consideration of the many input possibilities, please ask our Applications Specialists for details pertaining to your particular requirement.

 
Dual Output Port Option

If the monochromator has the dual output port option, an additional SS80 slit is likely required if the output port is to be mated to single channel or PMT detector. In addition to this slit, these detectors also require a specific detector mount. An additional SS80 slit is also likely required at the output port if the monochromator is to be used as a tunable light source. An additional SS80 slit is not required if the outport is mated to a multi-channel detector such as a CCD, photo-diode array or linear InGaAs detector and used as a spectrograph. For such detectors, please check our selection of multi-channel detector mounts. An additional SS80 slit is also not required if an output fiber is attached to the output port. In consideration of the many possibilities, please ask our Applications Specialists for details pertaining to your particular requirement.
