Clean design is compact and easy to use with short wavelength light and delivered with wavelength calibration certificate. aberration corrected gratings from 2400 to 300 g/mm. Now a grating turret is available too! Every unit ready for CCD or scanning applications from 30~1100 nanometers.
improves efficiency and range in the deep ultraviolet and VUV region. The new grating extends the efficient range of the McPherson Model 251MX for more sensitive spectral acquisition. With a digital camera and adjustable slits it now works from ...
Spectrometers from McPherson can now more easily detect Mid- and Long-Wave Infrared light. Grating groove density and optimum blaze wavelengths range from ultraviolet and visible wavelengths 0.2 up to 20 microns long-wave infrared. They provide spectroscopic capability to interrogate feature-rich region of long-wave infrared with array detectors. Ideal for imaging applications in chemistry, biology, aerospace and defense
A fast spectrometer is essential to collect light in both the VUV and the IR regimes of the spectrum. Whether the spectrometer is being used as a light source to deliver the most light possible or is used to collect a signal, the higher collection efficiency of faster f number and optimized optics coating is essential. This makes the Model 207 and the Model 207V ideal spectrometers for experiments conducted in the VUV or the IR.
McPherson is pleased to announce the availability of two new deep UV spectroscopy workstation’s intending to facilitate teaching and experimentation in vacuum and ultraviolet physics. The workstations are ideal for spectroscopy experiments in the vacuum ultraviolet regime, potentially advancing quantum information science and engineering. Spectroscopy was central to the development of quantum mechanics, including blackbody radiation and Einstein’s photoelectric effect.
The new 642-1 Soft X-Ray (SXR) light source from McPherson features a six position anode carousel. Users can easily change anode target materials while in high, or even ultra-high vacuum (UHV). Use of different solid target anode materials allows tuning emission eV energy or wavelength to the experiment. The vacuum housing of the source features standard NW40K vacuum flanges (optionally DN40CF). It also features two equivalent output beams. These provide ability for sample/reference comparison and device calibration. Filter wheels, gate valves, pinhole collimators, and energy- or other standard detectors are also available.
High energy optical spectroscopy has a new “power tool.” Shallow 1.5 degree grazing incidence angle improves efficiency for high energy photons, wavelengths below 5 nanometers. McPherson model 251MX spectrograph is optimal for energies low as 8 eV (150 nanometers wavelength) and high as 2000 eV (0.6 nanometers).
For water window imaging, HHG laser spectroscopy, x-ray plasma diagnostics, extreme ultraviolet lithography, optical characterization, metrology and calibration the McPherson Model 251MX delivers uncompromising performance. The Model 251MX is easy to use and delivers results over the wide 0.5 to 150 nanometer range simply by indexing diffraction gratings. See detailed specifications on the data sheet.

For applications like HHG spectroscopy, plasma diagnostics, vacuum ultraviolet optical characterization, metrology and calibration the Model 234/302 meets the challenge. This research grade spectrometer has uncompromising performance. It is our pleasure to deliver components as well as system-level solutions. The Model 234/302 is also available for ultra high vacuum (UHV), metal-sealed, 10E-10 Torr applications. Call or email today to learn how the Model 234/302 fits into your experiments.
McPherson triple monochromators work fast as f/5 with rejection edges down to 4cm-1. That’s more light gathering power and tighter edges than other spectrometers. McPherson’s reflective designs are tunable reaching the deep UV, 190 nanometers or less if necessary. For ultimate throughput, we offer astigmatic optics too. Check out McPherson singles and triples, well equipped for Raman, photoluminescence, and Thomson scattering
Thanks to Materials Research Forum and Thomas Wohlbier for spreading the word about unique tools for material research and spectroscopy!
There is a whole new way to communicate with McPherson spectrometers! New and many legacy McPherson instruments can now be addressed and controlled by a new Add-In for Princeton Instruments' powerful 64-bit LightField software. This new software allows users to keep all the benefits of LightField while controlling wavelength of McPherson deep UV and soft x-ray spectrometers. This integrates Princeton's premier scientific CCD detectors with McPherson's high performance spectrometers - a boon for spectroscopy researchers worldwide.
