A rigid honeycomb optical base is the foundation of the instrument ensuring alignment and stability. The laser(s), microscope, software-switched optics and a unique aberration-corrected polychromator with CCD detector provide an integrated package that is compact enough to fit on a laboratory bench. Operator safety (Class 1 laser safety) is maintained by a fully enclosed automated sample chamber door. This provides a 120 degree opening for the user to freely access the sample stage and objectives turret when setting up the experiment.
A high resolution color CCD viewing system with synchronized image capture and spectrum measurement enables accurate sample identification and positioning. The data is recorded in the Spectra Manager™ imaging application program and stored in the data file structure for easy reference. For application expansion, an automated multi-grating turret, 2 internally mounted detectors and a maximum of 8 lasers ranging from the UV through the NIR. All optical components are software controlled for maximum flexibility with minimum user interaction once the sample is loaded.
