PAS NIR spectrometer models and technical data
PAS 1720/1721 and 1751
The compact diode array spectrometers (256 or 512 pixels) are equipped with TE cooling and cover a wavelength range of 850 nm to 1650 nm. They are either available in the 19 inch housing (PAS 1720) or in the ½ 19 inch housing.
PAS 2120/2121
These diode array spectrometers (256 pixels) also have TE cooling and can be used in a wavelength range of 1100 nm to 2100 nm. The PSS 2120 is integrated in the 19 inch housing, while the PAS 2121 is integrated in the ½ 19 inch housing.
