Mercury Light Source

Variety of different light sources for UV-VIS-IR operation. All sources are supplied complete with housings, integrated refocusing mirrors, power supplies, mounting flanges for IsoPlane, SpectraPro and TriVista entrance slits. Most include cooling fans for stable operation (except TS-425).

Available Sources

Deuterium

Deuterium is a light source that is used when spectroscopy in the UV is required. The deuterium is a low-pressure gas-discharge light source which produces a continuous spectrum.

Tungsten-Halogen

Tungsten-halogen is used as a general light source. It is comprised of a compact, transparent container which contains a tungsten filament, a small amount of halogen, and inert gas. The tungsten filament in combination with the halogen causes a halogen cycle – a chemical reaction which rejuvenates the filament by redepositing evaporated tungsten.

Xenon

Xenon is a light source which produces bright white light, mimicking natural sunlight. It produces light by passing an electric current through ionized xenon gas in a high-pressure chamber, making it a specialized form of gas discharge lamp.
