Compact IMAGING spectrograph SL100M
The SL100M device is a simple and compact lens spectrograph with astigmatism compensation, intended for operation in ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared spectral regions. SL100M is designed on a horizontal-symmetric configuration with two objectives, focal length of 100 mm and F/number of 1/3.3. Wavelength scanning is performed manually with a micrometer screw.
The distinctive features of the SL100M Imaging spectrograph manufactured by SOL instruments are: high optical throughput, plane focal field, manually-regulated entrance slit, compact size, ease of use and very light weight. Due to compensation of astigmatism and distortion, the SL100M device is ideal for application in multi-channel spectroscopy and for luminescent measurements.

Description of compact spectrograph SL100M
Small-sized Imaging spectrograph SL100M
Astigmatism-compensated Imaging lens spectrographs of SL100M series with focal length of 100 mm and F/number of 1/3.3 are designed on a horizontal-symmetric configuration with two objectives. Wavelength scanning is performed manually with a micrometer screw. Due to compensation of astigmatism and distortion, the SL100M devices are perfect for application in multi-channel spectroscopy.
The standard delivery set of the SL100M spectrographs includes a camera adapter with «C-mount» flange. Other flanges for CCD detectors connection can be supplied on a customer’s request.
