X-RES

A Spectrometer for Resolving Extremely Close Spectral Features

Perfect for High-Resolution Applications

User-Interchangeable Slits and Optical Filters

Optical Resolution as Low as 0.05 nm (FWHM)

Improved Optical Design - With a Focal Distance of 100 mm

LightScan Software Included

Extreme Resolution with an Extreme Performance

X-RES is the perfect spectrometer for those who demand an extreme-resolution performance for resolving that is capable of resolving close-aligned spectral features as precise as 0.05 nm (FWHM).

Assembled in a robust and compact optical bench with a focal distance of 100 mm, X-RES is capable of delivering a great performance and sensitivity with a large peak symmetry over the operational wavelength range, which makes these series of spectrometers the perfect solution for high-resolution applications.

 

Perfect Integration in Your Setup

Features such as user-interchangeable slits and optical filters, power status indicator, and triggering functions allows for perfect integration of this spectrometer in your setup.

X-RES is available in a ready-to-use (for more common applications) and user-customized (for more specific applications) configuration for narrow UV-Vis and Vis-NIR range and extended UV-Vis-NIR range.

Key Features

  • The Ideal Solution for High-Resolution Applications

    X-RES combines an improved optical design with a focal distance of 100 mm with the best available optics to provide the great capability of resolving spectral features as precise as 0.05 nm across the full UV-Vis-NIR range.

  • Control the Sensitivity and Resolution of Your Spectrometer

    With the X-RES, you can take advantage of interchangeable slits and optical filters. User-interchangeable slits offer an easy and simple way of setting the ideal optical resolution/sensitivity while interchangeable optical filters provide the user with the ability to narrow the operational wavelength range of the spectrometer. Add a Slit Kit to your order and get all the flexibility you need.

  • Easy to Integrate in Your Setup

    As a fiber optic spectrometer, X-RES is ready to couple to a wide range of setups without the need for complex optical alignments. This flexibility is complemented with a number of integration tools that include triggers (trigger in/out and delays) and software packages for LabVIEW ™ or DLL, for software development. X-RES and all spectroscopic components of your setup can be centralized for full control with our new SPEC Hub solution.

  • Configure Your Spectrometer

    Customization of several optical components provides you with the flexibility to configure X-RES for more specific applications. In addition to user-interchangeable slits and optical filters, the possibility of selecting the diffraction grating, adding a collecting lens, or choosing the detector version helps you to define the operational spectral range, sensitivity, and optical resolution of your X-RES.
