The compact high-sensitivity spectrometer SC125 is developed for low light applications such as measurements of Raman scattering, fluorescence, etc., that require especially high sensitivity or enhanced specifications in the UV spectral range.
• Up-to-date model based on back-thinned arrays for operation with low signals
• Enhanced UV sensitivity
• Monolithic housing for optimum stability
• Internal light traps to reduce stray light
• Flexible configuration, including a choice of Diffraction gratings, spectral ranges and resolutions tailored to your requirement
• User-friendly interface compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7, 8 and 10
The high-aperture optical bench of the SC125 has no moving parts and minimizes the number of reflective surfaces. The SC125 features a monolithic housing, thus ensuring long-time measurement stability. The case has internal fins (light traps) that allow reducing stray light – a typical problem of compact short-focal length instruments.
The SC125 may contain as a detector either one of two non-cooled Hamamatsu back-thinned CCD-arrays without a charge-storage section (back-thinned FFT CCD), operating in the binning mode. Both arrays have wide spectral range and excellent sensitivity in the UV (see below for the curves of each detector spectral sensitivity and their specifications). These two arrays differ in quantum efficiency, data reading rate, dynamic range, and in pixel active area size.
