New from McPherson
January 2012 - The Laboratory of Radiation Physics Belgorod State University ordered a Model 248/310 spectrometer from McPherson, Inc. The grazing incidence spectrometer is on the way! It will help their spectroscopy in the soft x-ray and extreme vacuum ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength region. Their research includes new x-ray sources in the 0.1 to fifty nanometer region, methods for researching electron interactions with structured targets, and a new topic, guiding fast electrons.

January 2012 -Contaminants adsorbed on substrate or film surfaces markedly affect investigative processes in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV). Contamination is of particular concern because many materials from polishing compounds to cleaning solvents absorb strongly in the ultraviolet. We are pleased to offer a preperatory Plasma Cleaner for Vacuum Ultraviolet Optics |
| December 2011 -New Contract by Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory and McPherson. LMSAL worked with us in order to obtain a high resolution spectrometer system. The intended use is to characterize very narrow-band Lyot filters used during solar observation. The LMSAL web site has some very interesting images and reports from solar observations. |  |
October 2011 - Scientific Lamp Power Supply - The Model 718 power supply is a highly regulated DC power source intended for spectroscopy and other applications. It is capable of powering tungsten-halogen, ceramic and glowbar infrared light sources; this supply is flexible and extremely stable. Rated to 250W, exceptional performance is obtained by using a transistor series pass regulator circuit with an additional control circuit, providing <0.05% ripple to the source in use.

September 2011 -Vacuum Spectrometers with 670mm focal length and more, now available for vacuum ultraviolet applications involving transient or fast plasma physics, astrophysics, material science (luminescence, Raman) or laser-matter interaction experiments. |
| September 2011 -McPherson UV Spectrometer for Australian Researchers | Exploration of Boron Nanotube (BNNT) Behavior & Application McPherson, Inc. received a contract from the Institute of Technology, Research, and Innovation, Deakin University, Waurn Ponds, Australia. Under the contract, McPherson fabricated and delivered a Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectrometer System for transmission, reflection and luminescence emission measurements from diverse samples. |  |
June 2011 - High Voltage Power Supply The Model 7640 series of power supplies is comprised of 4 units with maximum output of 1000V, 2000V or 5000V. It is useful for work with photomultiplier tube and channel electron multiplier detectors and related devices. For a channel electron multiplier detectors refer to Model 425, for end on PMTs see Model 658. For PMT assemblies for side on tubes see Model 654.
May 2011 - To develop vacuum ultraviolet excitable phosphors the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure, Polish Academy of Science contracted McPherson to build a characterization system for the 120nm to 1800nm range. The benign discharge of a noble gas will replace Mercury excitation, for phosphor emission under environmentally acceptable conditions. Read the complete News Release here...
March 2011 - McPherson, Inc. announces New optics for spectroscopy imaging applications are now available for McPherson’s high resolution spectrometers. With select accessories, the McPherson can monitor spectra from one hundred fibers on one commercial 13mm square CCD.
| January 2011 - High Resolution Spectrometer (Chelmsford, MA USA,) High resolution spectrometer for emission, luminescence, Raman (strained Silicon), and high temperature plasmas easily measure better than 0.02 nanometer full width half maximum. McPherson’s high resolution spectrometer, Model 2061, is now available for scanning and imaging applications via two dimensional CCD or CMOS detectors. |
