Kymera 193i Spectrograph
Kymera 193i is a high-resolution, modular spectrograph designed for flexibility in UV to NIR spectral analysis.
Kymera 193i Spectrograph
Research-grade performance, versatility, and ease of use for advanced spectroscopy.
The ‘intelligent’ motorized adaptive focusing of the Kymera 193i spectrograph allows access to the very best spectral resolution performance in any configuration with un-matched repeatability. Its F/3.6 aperture, combined with Andor’s world-class range of ultra-sensitive UV-NIR and SWIR detectors, offers a ‘workhorse’ spectroscopy platform with superb photon collection efficiency, ideal for challenging low-light micro-fluorescence / Raman applications or routine spectral acquisitions.
The indexed grating turret, dual output port and extensive accessories range provides a highly configurable platform to best match Academic and OEMs specific performance requirements. Dedicated micro-spectroscopy interfaces — including modular ‘cage system’ — allow seamless integration to microscopy setups, with Kymera spectrograph and accessories user-friendly control in ?Manager to provide a quick and easy setup of complex micro-spectroscopy acquisition including chemical mapping.
Features
➡️ 193 mm focal length, F/3.6 aperture — Ideal combination for a wide range of applications, ranging from luminescence/photoluminescence spectroscopy to more demanding, higher resolution Raman spectroscopy
➡️ Adaptive Focus (patented) — Intelligent and user-friendly interface for uncompromised spectral resolution performance
➡️ Dual-grating turret with xPressID™ RFID technology — Seamless field-upgradability with precise indexing interface, and user-friendly hatch access. Automatic gratings recognition and setup with embedded RFID tags — minimum user interaction
➡️ Astigmatism-corrected optical design — Toroidal optics enable multi-track fiber detection and excellent sample image relay from a microscope at the grating ‘0’ order
➡️ Dual outputs — Extended wavelength coverage when combining Andor UV-NIR CCD, EMCCD, ICCD, and InGaAs cameras. Slit option for monochromator operation
➡️ USB interface — Plug-and-play connectivity, ideal for laptop operation alongside Andor USB cameras
➡️ Seamless connection to microscopes — Adjustable height feet and choice of direct, lens relay, or cage system-based interfaces. 15 mm wide-aperture input slit for extended sample image relay and spectral analysis through the same optical path
➡️ Protected silver-coated optics option — Most efficient for NIR/SWIR detection when used with Andor InGaAs cameras
➡️ Pre-aligned, pre-calibrated instrument — Individually characterized spectrograph-detector systems for out-of-the-box operation
➡️ High repetition rate shutter — 10 Hz continuous operation and 40 Hz burst mode for ultrafast background acquisition and detector protection
