May the 4th be with you has become a thing. Will revenge of the 5th become popular too? Let’s comb the desert for related treasure shall we? Since Cinco de Mayo got here first, I think the dark side might not win the 5th, but then again, people are launching perfectly good cars into space. Have a little fun and stay safe everybody!


Vacuum Ultraviolet deuterium (d2) lamp Ultraviolet wavelengths from 115~350 nanometers are emitted by the McPherson 30 watt deuterium lamp. It has a vacuum tight mount and a magnesium fluoride front window. This package comes complete with source, power supply, cables and housing. The 634 light source is also available as a calibrated absolute radiance standard.


compact vacuum monochromator Compact deep UV monochromator works as spectrograph with direct detection CCDs too! Masterpiece aberration corrected diffraction gratings improve performance overall. Optimized for the ultraviolet, each calibrated instrument is ready for CCD or scanning applications between 30~1100 nanometers. New and improved grating turret is available now too.


The sky is falling!? "For an uncontrolled reentry event," writes ESA, predictions have significant uncertainties. Better take note! Go check ESA's public tracker for orbiting objects and search for "COSPAR ID number 2021-035B” to follow the Chinese CZ-5B back to Earth. Have not tried to find the Roadster or the Corvette there though...


Tunable Spectral Calibration Sources Spectral test systems (STS) are tunable optical test and calibration systems useful for camera, seeker, and image-sensor characterization. The high throughput f/4 system has a 4‐position grating turret and works from 0.2~14 microns. Typical systems feature a four inch collimated output beam. Detectors and sample mounts are delivered per requirement.


from our LinkedIn McPherson 251MX soft x-ray spectrograph with aberration corrected gratings for improved performance AND collecting spectra with EAGLE 47-10 direct-detection CCD from Raptor Photonics. We were pleasantly surprised that this combination of Raptor direct-detection CCD and grating allows for simplified . . . read more
