1/8m Monochromator, Holographic, 200-1000 nm, USB, Fixed Slits

The Cornerstone 130 is a high performance, economical and user-friendly monochromator – an ideal instrument for research and OEM applications. The instrument is fully calibrated and includes two gratings and a built-in shutter. It is designed to be fully compatible with the Oriel USFW-100 Filter Wheel and the Apex2 illuminator, where up to six order-sorting filters may be installed.

LabVIEW™ based utility software is included to control both the monochromator and filter wheel. In addition to the utility software, the Cornerstone 130 may be controlled using Oriel’s TracQ™ Basic software or optional hand controller. An easy-to-understand command set is provided in the user’s manual for those wanting to create their own programs.

The optical design of the Cornerstone 130 is based on an out-of-plane version of an Ebert-Fastie monochromator. The input and output ports are in line with each other, simplifying system alignment. The optical configuration is designed to ensure high resolution and maximum throughput. This F/3.7 monochromator is optimized to provide excellent stray light rejection while minimizing aberrations. Its wavelength drive is designed to increase speed as much as possible without sacrificing accuracy or precision.

The Cornerstone 130 compact design requires little space. Mounting plates are available to conveniently fasten the monochromator to an optical table, and to couple with Oriel’s popular Research Lamp Housings and APEX2 light sources. Threaded holes on the mounting surface allow rod mounting of the Cornerstone 130.

Part Number 27-20-081 can be offered as a replacement power supply for this model. Power cord sold separately based on geographic location.
