Gemini 180

Double monochromator

The Gemini 180 is a fully automated, double additive grating scanning monochromator. The incorporation of toroidal optics provides for optimum throughput and spectral resolution. The Gemini 180 functions as a high power, high purity light source for Fluorescence, detector characterization, and microscope illumination when coupled with one of our Xe Light Sources. It is ideal for applications that require low stray light such as:

Transmission
Absorbance
Reflectance
Fluorescence

Segment: Scientific

Division: Custom Spectroscopy Solutions

Manufacturing Company: HORIBA Scientific

Key Benefits of the Gemini 180 Monochromator:

Ultra-low stray light rejection of 10-9
Excellent for high purity tunable illumination
Fully automated
Monochromator or imaging spectrograph
USB interface

Gratings

There is a wide selection of gratings to choose from depending on optical requirements. Gratings are 50 mm x 50 mm for the Gemini 180. There are three different types of gratings available; classically ruled, holographic, and blazed holographic. There is also a flat mirror that may be ordered for the dual grating turret option.
