Echelle Spectrograph to Record Wide Wavelength Ranges - Mechelle 5000

Andor's Mechelle ME5000 spectrograph has been designed to provide simultaneous recording of a wide wavelength range (200-975 nm) in one acquisition. It has no moving components is available in a pre-aligned detector/spectrometer format. The Andor Mechelle spectrograph is based on the echelle grating principal and its patented optical design provides extremely low cross-talk and maximum resolution compared with other spectrographs.

Features and Benefits

A highly optimized, patented high throughput design with patented corrected off axis optics to enable the user to achieve maximum throughput and optimum Gaussian line shape and resolution

Software correction using temperature sensor: measurements made in Andor have shown that there is a relationship between the temperature and the calibration off set

Constant spectral resolution (CSR) of minimum 5,000: the Mechelle always resolves the same fraction of the wavelength, implying that the disperation in units of nm/pixel, as a fraction of the wavelength.

A robust compact and portable design ensuring no moving components

Hands-on software - direct and responsive

The speed of the system is only dependent on the integration time, readout rate of the camera and PC capabilities
