Multiple Position / Multiple Slit Wheel

Model 943 is a 3 position slit wheel specially designed to work with Model 133 fiber adapter. Each position can have different size slits dictated by your application. The 943 model also has a filter position for wavelength preselection and stray light reduction. This is specially for high resolution optical diagnostics of high temperature plasmas (doppler, stokes techniques).
