MultiSpec® CCD: UV-VIS-NIR Detector Array Spectrometer System
MultiSpec
CCD is part of the modular MultiSpec
instrument family of fast simultaneous readout spectrometer systems. Based on flexible
19“ chassis technology, it is the perfect tool for
process applications. The integrated spectrometers are high-sensitive modules without moving
parts and with outstanding long-term stability. The
detector array design allows acquisition of whole
spectra in milliseconds. Multiplexing technology
offers multichannel operation. The standardized
SMA connectors on the front allow easy coupling
of fiber optics with all types of probes and cells.

Zeiss.
The high sensitivity and the extreme stability of these modules combined with tec5 16 Bit electronics a allow for very
reproducible and accurate measurements with a large
dynamic range.
Plug-In Cassette Design
MultiSpec systems follow a modular concept. All the components, such as spectrometers or light sources, are integrated
into cassettes, which can be changed easily.
