Modular Spectrometers

The TEO-200-X series of FTIR spectrometers represent a low cost Fourier transform infrared spectrometers and employ a number of unique features that ensure high performance from a compact instrument. The 200-X measures just 59 X 39 X 19 cm and is regarded as one of the most compact and versatile infrared FTIR spectrophotometers. The design of the 200-X is unique both in terms of optical design and the software and firmware designed specifically to significantly reduce overall analytical times. The interferometer geometry employs a new compact Michelson self compensating optical system that eliminates many of the optical alignment problems found in conventional type optical interferometers. The 200-X design avoids the use of conventional corner cube optics and dynamic alignment. In practice this means that the instrument can be used in the research laboratory, in any university or college environment and if required, can also be used outside laboratory or in remote locations.

The sample compartment is large and can accommodate all of the normal sample handling requirements relating to FTIR spectroscopy. This unique compartment will also accommodate a wide range of accessories supplied by specialist accessory manufacturers. Overall dimensions are W20 X D26 X H16 cm . The optical axis is 74.5 mm above the base of the sample compartment and there is free space of 90 mm above the optical axis to the underside of the lid.

In order to facilitate the use of more than one beam splitter or detector , provisions have been made to interchange the beam splitter and detector assemblies allowing the 200-X to be used at any wavelength from 15000 to 400 cm-1.

Beam Splitters Range subject to coatings

The Model TEO200 benchtop FTIR spectrometer is a low cost Fourier transform infrared spectrometer that employs a number of unique features to achieve high performance from such a compact size. At just 385x265x160mm , it is one of the most compact FTIR systems on the market today.
The TEO200 is unique in terms of its optical geometry and software/firmware design. The optical geometry is simplified by employing a new and remarkably compact Michelson self compensating optical system that eliminates many of the optical alignment problems found in conventional linear and pendulum type optical interferometers. For example, the TEO200 design avoids the use of conventional corner cube optics and dynamic alignment. In practical terms, the instrument can be used inside a research laboratory, or even as a mobile unit in outside environments. Its software and firmware design is also tightly coordinated which significantly reduces overall data acquisition and computational time.
The sealed, desiccated enclosure of the TEO200 eliminates the need for continuous dry nitrogen purging during operation. Other notable features include an air cooled IR source as oppose to water cooled, and the interferometer mechanical bearing does not require gas supply. There are however, three dry nitrogen gas inlets on the rear of the spectrometer for the purging of the detector compartment, sample compartment, and interferometer compartment from moisture, carbon dioxide and other gases.

Please note that there are a variety of spectral ranges available, depending on the detector-beam splitter choices for the system. The price of the system includes this beam splitter, but it must be specified.
KBr 7,000 to 400 cm-1

The 9490 monochromator is Sciencetech's second highest resolution monochromator, with 1m focal length. With a 2400 l/mm grating it can achieve resolutions better than 0.01 nm in the standard single pass configuration. This version uses 84 x 84 mm gratings for an aperture of f/9.7.By default the monochromator comes with a single grating kinematic mount. Users can manually swap one grating for another without losing alignment. An optional motorized 3-grating turret is available for automatic grating selection without opening the housing. The 9490 has a flat field output allowing it to operate as a spectrograph using a linear array, multi-channel detector to capture the entire output spectrum continuously. Sciencetech provides a selection of 1" wide CCDs and photo-diode linear array detectors mounted on a multi-axis adjustable focusing platform for use with the 9490.
Some models of the 9490 can be updgraded to dual pass operation (-DP). With the -DP dual pass upgrade option even higher resolution is available by switching to a "double pass" configuration that effectively doubles the focal length to 2m.

The 9030DA double additive monochromator consists of two 9030 monochromators placed in series. Stray light is drastically reduced in a double monochromator, and in the 9030DA it is further minimized by the use of concave holographic gratings. The inbound light is dispersed by the first grating and again by the second. Both gratings rotate simultaneously in the same direction, and in the DA the monochromators are coupled so that the dispersion is double that of a single 9030 monochromator. Bandpass is half of the corresponding 9030 monochromator for the same output slit, and resolution using a 100 µm slit is 0.4 nm.
This includes one set of standard slits, but the grating must be selected/specified separately.
Mirror coatings have been chosen for this model to enhance performance in the VIS-NIR region.

The standard SPS-300 has a 50mm translating stage, wich can provide resolution up to 0.12 wavenumbers. The high resolution upgrade option extends the translating stage to 300mm, allowing the SPS-300 to achieve a resolution of 0.020 wavenumbers. Due to the increased stage length, an extension to the vacuum-sealed body is needed to accommodate the extra distance.

The 9030DS consists of two 100 mm scanning monochromators placed in series in subtractive mode. Bandpass is determined by the width of an intermediate slit, but the 9030DS has a net output dispersion of zero because the monochromators are optically coupled so that the dispersion of the second grating cancels that of the first. This leads to homogenized wavelengths at the output port - there is no spectrum, only a single undispersed slit image - which allows the unit to act as a tunable bandpass or notch filter.
Stray light of all sorts is drastically reduced in a double monochromator, and in the 9030DS it is further minimized by the use of concave holographic gratings. It is ideal for applications where stray light is a problem - where there may be a strong scattered background, such as in spectroradiometry, Raman or UV measurements of solar radiation.
This price includes a standard set of slits including a standard intermediate (inverted) slit, but does not include gratings. We also offer customized intermediate (inverted) slits; please speak with your authorized Sciencetech technical support staff member.

This is an Echelle Spectrometer designed for diffraction limit operation, that provides a full spectrum coverage without gaps over a tunable 150nm range at a resolution of ~2pm in single pass mode. The spectrometer uses two gratings, two 1.5m f.l. parabolic reflectors and a corrector lens to produce a cross-dispersed echellegram that is recorded on a 3k x 3k cooled CCD camera with 12u pixels, at a dispersion of 1 pm/pixel. The long, thin echellegram is fit to the square CCD format using a 3 section image slicer, to maximize wavelength coverage and resolution.
Input optics include a micrometer adjustable rectangular input slit and a computer controlled source selector that can switch between four available input ports, useful in calibration.
Operational specifications are (for 31.5 l/mm 150x50 mm echelle, single pass)

* Dispersion: 1pm/pixel; (diffraction limit = 1pm)
* Wavelength coverage: 150nm band, position continuously selectable.
No gap coverage up to 800nm. Camera coverage 300nm-900nm.
* Aperture f/25.
* Input slit: rectangular, continuously adjustable 0-500um.
* Source selector to switch between four inputs.
* Calibration facilities for wavelength and intensity.
* Software to transfer raw images to permanent storage at the maximum possible rate, to transform and store as spectra corrected for wavelength & intensity.
Please note that for full frame digitization at 12 bits the transfer rate is 10seconds per frame. Smaller frame sections can be transferred at correspondingly faster rates.

The Sciencetech 9030 monochromator is a compact, single grating scanning monochromator. It has a manual wavelength selector dial with an optional external motor drive for computerized control. The compact design is made possible by its Seya-Namioka optical layout, using a single holographic concave grating and f/3.2 aperture. A pair of removable fixed-width slits are included for the input and output ports. Additional removable slits and custom width slits can also be purchased separately.
Mirror coatings have been chosen for this model to enhance performance in the VIS-NIR region.
There are 5 grating choices (sold separately) covering from UV to near-IR; choose a VIS to NIR range to pair with the VIS-NIR mirror coatings on this model. The 9030 monochromator cannot be used as a spectrograph and therefore only accepts single channel and PMT detectors; however, it can be used as an excitation wavelength tunable light source.
The 9030 is Sciencetech's most economical monochromator with a manual control wavelength selector and removable, fixed-width slits. The input and output ports are purposely placed optically in-line, making it a simple addition to a straight line beam in an optical system. Being a scanning monochromator, it does not have a flat output field and hence cannot be operated as a spectrograph with a multi-channel detector mounted at the output port.
