Abstract:

An off-plane Eagle mounting has been employed in the design and construction of a one meter vacuum ultraviolet spectrometer. Either film or photoelectric detection can be used from below 120 nm in the vacuum ultraviolet to 650 nm in the visible. Resolution of 0.016 nm measured as full width at half height has been attained in the second order. The combination of spectral range, resolution and choice of detection make the instrument applicable to many areas of research at a reasonable price. The mechanical design is simplified for ease of construction in small machine shops. Complete mechanical drawings and parts list are included. Author
