C11009MA, C11010MA: for installation into measurement equipment
Hamamatsu mini-spectrometer RC series is a family of compact polychromators integrated with a reflection grating and a
CMOS linear image sensor. Two types are available: mini-spectrometer modules (C11007MA, C11008MA) with a driver circuit,
and mini-spectrometer heads (C11009MA, C11010MA) for installation into measurement equipment, which contain an optical
system and an image sensor in a compact case.
Mini-spectrometer modules have a USB port that connects to a PC for spectrum data collection. They come with sample soft-
ware for setting measurement conditions, acquiring and saving data, and displaying data graphs, as well as with evalution
software and DLL. In mini-spectrometer heads, incident light is dispersed into a spectrum which is photoelectrically converted
by the image sensor and output as video signals.
