Request InfoMcPHERSONA phosphor analyzer that delivers vacuum-UV excitation wavelengths at 146 and 173 nm has been introduced by McPherson Inc. The device features plasma-display-panel technology, a spectrometer for phosphor emission analysis and a CCD for determining the emission wavelength. The phosphor samples can be exchanged while maintaining the vacuum required for high-energy excitation, and they can be analyzed in more detail in single-channel mode. The system also can be equipped with tunable monochromatic light sources for excitation from 115 to 350 nm and with high-gain photomultipliers for scanning...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Showcase September 2023 IssuePortable Raman SpectrometersIntroducing Thorlabs’ new RASP series of Portable Coded-Aperture Raman Spectrometers for detecting low-intensity Raman signals in either the fingerprint (500 to 1800 cm−1) or...Photonics Showcase July 2022 IssueConfocal Raman MicroscopeThe RMS1000 is an open-architecture, research-grade confocal Raman microscope, adaptable to almost any modern, stateof- the-art Raman application.
