The MSDD1000 series is designed on the modified Cherny-Turner scheme with the two-level arrangement of optical components to allow dispersion doubling, aberrations minimization and exclusion of spectra re-entrance from the diffraction gratings and mirrors.

This is a double dispersion monochromator with no intermediate slit, in which upper and lower levels are the separate monochromators. These two levels are connected by means of two plane turning mirrors.
The design of the optical scheme and construction of the MSDD1000 series allows the monochromator of any level to be applied as the first one. Thus, if radiation is delivered to the entry of monochromator of one of the levels, the spectrum is formed in the flat field of the monochromator of another level, providing easy cascade of monochromators for construction of quadruple monochromator from two double ones.

High-quality optics and a wide choice of diffraction gratings provide operation of the MSDD1000 series monochromator-spectrograph in a wide spectral range from 185 nm up to 60 ?m (depending on the selected grating) with the best spectral resolution.

In MSDD1002i model and MSDD1004i model the astigmatism is corrected owing to special optics what makes these instruments applicable in multi-channel spectroscopy. ONLY one input port is used in these instruments.

Automated turret for two pairs of gratings (MSDD1004 model and MSDD1004i model) provides a fast switching of gratings with high repeatability of the set wavelength.

MSDD1000 series Monochromator?spectrograph has two input (only the models with no astigmatism compensation - MSDD1002 model and MSDD1004 model) ports and two output ports. Selection of the output ports is realized with flip mirrors. Either exit spectral slits or multi-channel detectors can be established in each of the output ports.

MSDD1000 series Monochromator?spectrograph has two types of entrance and exit spectral slits: manual, operated with a micrometer screw, and automated (combined) when the slit width is operated automatically or manually (with micrometer).

A wide choice of changeable gratings gives the best combination of high energetic efficiency and maximal spectral resolution for different spectrum areas.

We also propose a great choice of additional accessories for MSDD1000 series monochromator?spectrograph: filter wheel (6 and 8 filters), fast shutters with the opportunity of radiation direct delivery or via optical fiber, optical fibers with adapters, input and output condensers, integral and multi-element detectors and etc.

Extremely high spatial resolution (better than 0,004 nm for 3600l/mm grating) in combination with high throughput (F/number 1/5.9) make double dispersion monochromator?spectrographs of MSDD1000 series an ideal instrument for spectroscopy applications requiring high resolution in the limited area, when other instruments can not be physically applied.

Optical system

In MSDD1002 model and MSDD1002i model a fixed holder is used for easy manual switching of gratings.
