McPherson - Model 248/310 -SXR and EUV Rowland Circle Monochromator
The one-meter focal length Model 248/310 is a grazing incidence monochromator built in the Rowland circle configuration. It is a compact and versatile instrument useful from one to 310 nanometers and best for wavelengths shorter than 100 nm (greater than 12 eV). Grazing angles improve reflective efficiency. Moving the exit slit or other detector along the Rowland circle, a circle with Diameter equal to the diffraction gratings Radius, insures best focus and spectral resolution at the wavelength of interest.
The Model 248/310 is available in several different configurations: as a scanning monochromator, with a direct-detection CCD, with a tangential microchannel plate intensifier, or in reverse, as a variable source of XUV and soft x-ray emission. All versions are available for high vacuum or optionally Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) with metal seals. It is well equipped with adjustable slits, in vacuum grating-focus adjustment, high precision wavelength drive, and filter insertion slide. This instrument may be built with angle of incidence 84 to 88 degrees depending on the application.
