• Optical input direct to slit or via fiber
• Allows higher resolution spectral measurements in up to a 700nm measurement window between 200nm and 1050nm - double the resolution of the SM200 and SM240
• USB 2.0 interface with 16-bit dynamic range available

The Choice for Spectral Applications

The SM520 is a CCD based spectrometer that offers more than double the resolution of the SM240. This resolution is achieved using oversized (30mm x 30mm) optical-bench components. These components offer approximately four times the effective collimation, grating and focusing area than what is used in the SM200 and SM240. As with all spectrometers, effective resolution increases as window size decreases. A 100 nm window will have approximately .09nm resolution (as opposed to .3nm for the SM200 and SM240). A 700 nm window will have approximately .56nm resolution (as opposed to 1.12 nm for the SM200 and SM240).

Standard interfaces include a USB 2.0 interface with 16-bit extended dynamic range and a PCI card interface with 12-bit dynamic range. Custom interfaces and legacy ISA and PCMCIA interfaces are also available. Software support includes a SDK and DLLs for dedicated applications development and our SM32Pro Windows-based spectral acquisition and analysis software. Both standard and legacy interface designs provide support for advanced acquisition programming and external triggering.
