Monochromator Selection Guide

We offer 1/8 m and 1/4 m manually operated and fully automated monochromators. Our monochromators are suited to a wide variety of applications. This section provides a straightforward comparison of our instruments to help you in your selection. We encourage you to call an Applications Engineer once you've narrowed your selection, to discuss your needs. We offer a wide range of optical accessories complement your monochromator, i.e. integrating spheres, filter wheels, focusing lens assemblies, and fibers optics.
