Shamrock 163 Imaging Spectrographs

Features and Benefits

• Patented optical design: the design of the Shamrock SR-163i spectrograph provides better resolution with higher throughput. It is based on a Czerny-Turner optical layout and features a 163mm focal length, an entrance aperture ratio of f/3.6 and a wavelength resolution of 0.17nm.
• Interchangeable gratings & interchangeable slits: gratings can be easily interchanged to suit your wavelength range and resolution requirements without the need for re-alignment. A wide selections of various groove frequency gratings are available. A calibrated micrometer wavelength drive allows for changing of center wavelengths.
• Interchangeable fixed slits or a variable slit width accessory are also offered.
• Robust, compact & accurate: the Andor Shamrock SR-163i is built in a solid housing to deliver superior, and reliable performance time after time. Its compact size, low cost and versatility make it attractive to researchers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's).
• Wide range of accessories available: the Shamrock 163i is available with a host of input accessories including a shutter, entrance slits, optical fibers, calibration lamps and different array detector adaptors.
• Imaging & non-imaging models available: the Shamrock SR-163 model is available in two options: the Shamrock SR-163i for imaging or multi- track spectroscopy applications and the Shamrock SR-163 for conventional non-imaging needs. The Shamrock SR-163i offers imaging capability by the addition of an image correction lens behind the entrance slit assembly.An optional entrance slit shutter is also available for operating in imaging or multi-track readout mode.
• Available for use with a wide range of cameras: including – CCD's, EMCCD's and ICCD's. Coupled to Andor's compact, high performance USB 2.0 camera, the iDus CCD detector system, the Shamrock SR-163i spectrograph provides the ideal tool for absorption/transmission, fluorescence, reflection and source characterization. The Shamrock SR-163i spectrograph is also available as a stand-alone option for use with an existing or third party CCD or array detector.
