New High Energy XUV Spectrometer from McPherson

McPherson's grazing incidence wavelength dispersive optical spectrometer allows rapid analysis of spectral light in the ~1 to 300nm wavelength region (4 to 1200 eV.) Beside high-harmonic laser generation experiments, the Model 248/310 is also useful for measuring ion- or discharge light sources and astrophysics detector calibration. At FLASH, the Free Electron Laser experiment at DESY Germany, the McPherson 248/310 UHV model assisted in analysis of the 2.3 to 4.4-nanometer water window (a region transparent to light).
