Model 205 500-mm focal length f/6.9 Monochromator
Model 205 Czerny Turner Monochromator / Spectrometer in three versions to suit your experimental requirements
  • f/3.2 with selected large gratings for maximum throughput, Model 205f
  • f/4.3 with 4-grating turret for wide wavelength ranges, Model 205wr
  • f/6.9 with 2-grating turret or single f/4.3 SNAP IN gratings, Model 205
  • High Efficiency Broadband Al+MgF2 Coatings
  • Precision Micrometer Adjustable Slits
  • Dual Turret with "Snap-In" gratings
  • Gratings rotate about their apex
  • Imaging Optics & Large focal plane
  • Rugged Construction with Multiple slit locations

The three versions of the Model 205 have been developed with researchers to meet the diverse needs of spectral analysis. The half meter focal length is popular. It provides reasonable spectral resolution, throughput and package size. Every lab has room for a half meter monochromator! Each application is unique and the versions of the McPherson Model 205 will allow you to tailor the instrument to produce better data from a given experiment. Wavelengths from 200-nm to 78-um can be covered within the scanning range and with appropriate gratings. All versions can be provided with the 789A-3 digital scan control for scanning or with corrected optics for imaging applications, all but the 205wr can be configured for both.

Model 205<b><i>f</b></i> f/3.2 system houses a very large diffraction grating
The Model 205wr quad, 4-grating turret accepts 110x110mm SNAP IN gratings. This unit is most often integrated into scanning spectral calibration or very wide wavelength range Spectrophotometry applications. For example, with 4 gratings installed, work from the UV to the far or long wave infrared (LWIR) is simplified and throughput is maintained.

The Model 205f uses large 120 x 150-mm gratings to achieve phenomenal light gathering and throughput. The fast aperture ratio is excellent for low light applications, like Raman and photoluminescence. Any time photons are at a premium the Model 205f can help. It can be equipped with the 789A-3 digital scan control for scanning or with corrected optics for imaging applications.
