Block diagram of the PC-100

The PC-100 was carefully designed specifically for the PChem teaching lab. It incorporates special mounting of the emission monochromator to the sample compartment that allows the monochromator slits to be horizontal for maximum light collection from illumination of the laser beam through the sample compartments cuvette. The PMT housing is a multipurpose detector allowing analog, photon-counting and direct fast readout from the anode of the PMT. In the direct out mode the user connects the BNC signal output of the PMT housing to the 50 ohm input of the boxcar/digital scope. The sample compartment, monochromator and PMT is mounted and aligned on a base plate to ensure maximum alignment efficiency after testing and delivery from PTI. All the user has to do is position the laser output at the input channel of the sample compartment. For sales and price inquiries contact QuantaMetrics.
