Dual Exit Ports
Versatile and flexible configurations for wide range
of spectroscopy measurements.
Dual port setups include various combinations of:
• CCD cameras for UV, Vis and NIR spectroscopy
• ICCD cameras for UV to NIR and Time Resolved measurements
• Single Point Detectors (SPDs) for scanning spectroscopy solutions
from UV to SWIR
• SPDs for time resolved, lifetime measurements
• Exit slits for monochromator tunable light source
• Fiber coupling to deliver output light/signal to another part of experiment
The ports are easily selected through the software and integrity of
calibration for each port is independent and well maintained.
Adaptive Focusing (patented*)
Automated optimization for the best quality of focus
• Ensures the best resolution at any wavelength
• Automatic optimization when changing between gratings, or cameras
• Software-controlled, easy to switch on and off when required
• No need for tedious adjustment of camera position at the exit ports
µ-Manager Control
User-friendly simultaneous access to Andor Kymera 193i, low- light
spectroscopy cameras and a wide range of microscopes and microscope
accessories. Andor’s dedicated interface allows
seamless spectral acquisition, display and manipulation, as well as
facilitating ‘spectral’ mapping sequences with advanced metadata handling.

Optics Coatings Reflectivity Graph
Standard systems use Al + MgF2 coated optics.Protected silver optics are also available on request for maximum efficiency in the NIR region - recommended for working with Andor iDus InGaAs detectors or IR single-point detectors, such as MCT, PbS and InSb.
When choosing protected silver coatings, it is strongly recommended to also order protected silver coated gratings for maximum efficiency throughout the system.
