Description
This manual is intended to help you set up and operate your new IsoPlane 320 A
spectrograph. Even if you are an experienced user of spectroscopic equipment, we suggest
that you follow the manual (at least initially) to insure proper setup and operation. If you
have any questions about the information contained in this manual, contact the Princeton
Instruments customer service department. Refer to Contact Information on page 82 for
complete contact information.
The IsoPlane
320A (IsoPlane) is a 320 mm focal length spectrograph. Its advanced optical
design reduces astigmatism to zero, increasing spatial and spectral resolution dramatically
over traditional spectrographs. Large-diameter optics and interchangeable triple-grating
turrets permit operation from the UV to NIR with extremely low light levels at high, low or
intermediate spectral resolution. IsoPlane includes 32 bit microprocessor controlled
scanning, built-in USB and RS-232 interfaces, and a micrometer-controlled entrance slit.
In addition, it has a direct digital grating scan mechanism with full wavelength and grating
control capabilities. The IsoPlane works seamlessly with Princeton Instruments' industry-
leading CCD, EMCCD, ICCD and InGaAs array detectors and Princeton
Instruments' LightField
®
with IntelliCal™ and WinSpec data acquisition software
packages. Figure 1-1 illustrates a typical IsoPlane 320A .
