Acton Standard Monochromators & Spectrographs

Acton Standard Series Monochromators and Spectrographs

The Acton Standard Series of monochromators and spectrographs has long been known as the industry standard for delivering the highest quality data for research labs worldwide.

The Acton Standard Series is an excellent choice for researchers who require a basic, but flexible monochromator/spectrograph to integrate in their experiment setup. Features include manual micrometer adjustable slits as well as a three-position grating turret to provide a rugged, reliable and high-performance instrument suited for a variety of demanding applications such as Raman, fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. Complimenting these spectrometers is a complete line of accessories that optimize the instrument's performance and provide for easy setup of the instrument. The Acton Series is available in four focal lengths: 150mm,300mm,500mm and 750mm.
