Setup
Overview
The MonoScan-2000 is a small-bandwidth fiber optic scanning monochromator. This monochromator is
specially made to achieve a high optical throughput in fluorescence and luminescence applications,
resulting in an intensive spectral signal.
The unique system design makes it easily compatible with all Ocean Optics and Mikropack light sources,
accessories and spectrometers. Its RS232 interface and 12VDC power make it convenient to use, and
even possible for mobile applications.
Applications
 Variable monochromatic lightsource: If the MonoScan-2000 is combined to our fiber optic
lightsources (e.g., HL-2000-HP, HPX-2000; DH-2000; DH-2000-BAL)
 Single variable Wavelength detection: If combined with a single Si-Detector
 Programmable Fluorescence Scanner: Two MonoScan-2000s combined can be used as a fully
programmable fluorescence scanner if the unit is combined with a high-power lightsource (e.g.,
HPX-2000), going to the sample via fiber, detecting via fiber, then going through the second
MonoScan-2000 combined with a single Si-Detector.
