H-10
Overview
The H-10 Monochromator is a small, versatile instrument and has several applications. You can use it as follows:
- As a Variable Filter the H-10 is very useful in applications for selecting a range of wavelengths from a continuous source. With its metal drop-in slits, it can be used with focused arc lamps up to 1Kw.
- Low resolution absorption transmission and fluorescence applications.
The H-10 features HIGH SPECTRAL PURITY. High stray light level rejection of 10-5 at 8 nm from the 632.8 nm laser line.
We offer a wide range of accessories for optical configurations including light sources, detectors, optical benches, motors, recorders and computer interfaces.
Features
Small size: just 10 cm3
Featherweight: 1Kg
In spite of its small size, the H-10 monochromator offers performance equal to that of bulkier instruments.

Optical Configuration
The H-10 is built around an aberration-corrected concave holographic diffraction grating. This element plays a triple role: collimator, dispersing and focusing system.
Resolution
Typically 1 nm at 500 nm
High Luminosity
This is assured by its f/3.5 aperture
Slits
Manually interchangeable fixed width slits, with continuous height adjustment. Custom OEM version available.
For applications where resolution is required optional fixed slits are available. Each slit is equipped with a height limiter. Maximum height: 8 mm, minimum height: 2 mm.
