Linear Diffraction Grating 1000 LPM by Scientific Equipment of Houston

Description

Product Overview

The 1000 lines per millimeter linear diffraction grating from Scientific Equipment of Houston is engineered for demanding optical environments. Constructed from high‑quality substrate material, the grating features a precisely ruled surface that splits incident light into its constituent wavelengths with exceptional accuracy. The product is supplied as a standard 25 mm × 25 mm plate, ready for integration into spectrometers, microscopes, and custom optical assemblies. Its durable coating resists abrasion and environmental contaminants, extending service life while maintaining diffraction efficiency across the visible and near‑infrared spectrum. The grating is calibrated to a blaze angle optimized for maximum intensity at the central wavelength, delivering reliable performance for quantitative analysis and imaging applications.

Usage

Designed for laboratory and research settings, this linear diffraction grating excels in microscopy sample slide illumination, Raman spectroscopy, and wavelength calibration tasks. Researchers in biology, chemistry, and materials science can employ the grating to achieve uniform spectral dispersion, enabling high‑resolution imaging of cellular structures or precise identification of chemical compounds. The compact form factor allows easy mounting on standard optical rails, while the robust coating ensures stable operation in humid or dusty environments. Whether installed in a benchtop spectrometer, a teaching laboratory apparatus, or a field‑portable analytical device, the grating provides consistent diffraction performance, reducing the need for frequent recalibration.

FAQ

What is the recommended mounting method for the grating?

The grating is supplied with a precision‑machined mounting flange that fits standard 1‑inch optical rails. Use a kinematic mount or a custom holder that applies even pressure to avoid warping the ruled surface.

Can the grating be used in the infrared range?

Yes. The substrate and coating are designed to perform from the visible spectrum up to approximately 1100 nm, making it suitable for many near‑infrared applications.

How does the durability of the coating compare to uncoated gratings?

The protective coating is engineered to resist scratches, chemical exposure, and humidity. In comparative testing, coated gratings retain over 95 % of their diffraction efficiency after 500 cleaning cycles, whereas uncoated gratings show noticeable degradation.

Is the grating compatible with existing spectrometer designs?

Most benchtop and portable spectrometers that accept a 25 mm × 25 mm grating can accommodate this product without modification. Verify the mounting interface and clearance in your instrument’s manual before installation.

What warranty coverage is provided?

We offer a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and performance issues arising from normal use. Our support team will arrange replacement or repair if the grating does not meet the specified diffraction efficiency.
