74000 In Stock

The 74000 by Newport is a Cornerstone 130 Motorized 1/8m Monochromator, engineered for both research and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) applications. This monochromator boasts a comprehensive set of features, including a seamlessly integrated shutter within its compact housing, seamless compatibility with IEEE-488 and RS-232 or USB computer interfaces, precise control over filter wheel operations, and the notable advantage of dual gratings. Streamlining usability, the monochromator incorporates a user-friendly utility program that seamlessly operates on a personal computer, ensuring immediate functionality straight out of the box. Furthermore, for hands-on experimentation or method development, a handheld controller establishes a direct interface with the 74000. In scenarios where optimal efficiency can be achieved through computer-directed processes, the Cornerstone 130 interface showcases an intuitive command set.

The 74000 introduces a wide array of gratings that seamlessly integrate with the Cornerstone 130's kinematic grating turret, allowing users to effortlessly select various bandwidth options. With a choice between interchangeable fixed slits, micrometer-driven slits, and multiple fixed slit assemblies, users can tailor their experimental parameters precisely. Notably, the monochromator can be purged with dry nitrogen to operate effectively below the oxygen absorption cut-on at 180 nm, enhancing its versatility. Operating as an f/3.7 system, the Cornerstone 130 exhibits slight asymmetry in output and input focal lengths, accompanied by a 180-degree in-line optical port configuration. This design feature greatly simplifies system alignment and facilitates mounting onto rails or optical benches. Meticulously computer-optimized, the system guarantees minimized stray light, exceptional throughput, and superior resolution. This optimized design ensures exceptional rejection of stray light while simultaneously mitigating aberrations
