Andor’s modular spectroscopy platforms are designed to tackle analytical challenges from UV to SWIR, from macro- to nano-scale, with fluxes down to single photon and time-resolution down to nanosecond. Our range can be seamlessly configured to provide optimised detection solutions for many applications including material science, biomedical, chemical reactions and plasma studies. Relevant techniques include Raman, Luminescence, Absorption, LIBS, and many more.
Kymera and Shamrock Czerny-Turner Spectrometer portfolio provides highly versatile platforms for everyday basic or advanced Research, with ease-of use in mind and ease-of-configurability to support evolving detection needs. Mechelle platform provides a unique combination of high resolution and bandpass performance for LIBS and Plasma Science.
Andor’s range of CCD, EMCCD, ICCD, sCMOS and InGaAs detectors provide tailored solutions for demanding applications and challenging photon fluxes from UV to SWIR, including platforms with time resolution capabilities down to nanosecond regime and spectral rates up to multi-kHz regime.
The Optistat range of optical cryostats are optimised for spectroscopy applications in the <3k to 500k temperature range. Our Dry/Cryofree, Liquid Nitrogen and Helium options are available in both top and bottom loading configurations as well as sample-in-exchange gas or sample-in-vacuum designs.
The collection and processing of light from the sample to the spectroscopy detector can take many forms depending on signal emission characteristics and geometry of the experiment. Andor provides a large range of coupling interfaces to microscopes, cage systems, fibre-optic based or free-space configurations to best address bespoke setup requirements and challenges.
