The 66483-500HX-R22 Mercury-Xenon Light Source is a complete plug and play light source system that includes a 500 W short-arc Hg(Xe) lamp, light source housing, lamp power supply, as well as all the necessary interconnection cables for operation. See included components below for complete details.
The provided 69911 arc lamp power supply is a highly regulated for maximum stability. Much of an arc lamp's stability in wavelength and output intensity is due to keeping the temperature and pressure of the gas inside the lamp's envelope as constant possible.
The included Oriel Research Arc Lamp Housing offers a built-in ignitor board and rear reflector for optimum lamp performance. A built-in cooling fan maintains a safe operating temperature for the lamp. The user is protected from accidental exposure to UV radiation and electrical shock by the lamp housing's safety interlock, which disables ignition and power to the lamp if the housing door or lamp housing interconnection cable is not securely connected.
The condenser lens assembly included with this light source uses a single aspheric lens with an F/# of F/2.2. The front surface of an aspheric lens gradually changes in curvature from the center of the lens to the edge. This shape reduces spherical aberration more effectively than a Plano Convex Lens.
