Bentham manufacture a range of monochromators with associated accessories to cover a very considerable range of measurements.

In selecting the most appropriate monochromator model and accessories for a given application, the following 3 principal (but by no means sole) considerations should broadly be taken into account :

spectral range of operation
required spectral resolution
consideration of the application with regards to stray light performance of the monochromator

Several models are available as spectroradiometers, with integrated detection electronics, to provide a complete measurement solution.

Spectral Range

Diffraction gratings are specified by a line density in grooves per millimetre. The higher the density, the greater light is dispersed resulting in a relatively limited spectral extent. Furthermore, in general, the higher line density gratings are optimised for short wavelength use and vice versa. One must take into account the available grating(s) and the operation range of such before deciding how many gratings are required to cover a given range. Where multiple gratings are required, one can opt for a multiple-grating monochromator which would allow performing a spectral measurement over a great range, or whether a single (interchangeable) grating monochromator is used and the measurement performed in two or more parts.

For measurements performed over a very wide spectral range, interchangeable turrets can be purchased for multiple grating monochromators.

Monochrome describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or shades of one color. A monochromatic object or image has colors in shades of limited colors or hues. Images using only shades of grey (with or without black and/or white) are called...
A polychromator is an optical device that is used to disperse light into different directions to isolate parts of the spectrum of the light. A prism or diffraction grating can be used to disperse the light. Unlike a monochromator, it outputs multiple beams over a...
