The PARISS® Imaging Prism Spectrometer Captures
ALL
Wavelengths Between
365 to 920 nm
Simultaneously

Prisms Delivers Up to 90% Efficiency Over the Entire Operating
Wavelength Range To Deliver More Sensitivity Than Most
Diffraction Grating Based Spectrometers and Spectrographs

 

The PARISS imaging spectrometer uses a "curved" prism with a focussing mirror to provide point-to-point imaging.

The prism has curved sides to reduce, or eliminate, aberrations that can degrade spatial and spectral resolution. All "points" on the entrance slit are imaged as points, at each wavelength, on the detector. Be sure to view the animation below

  • The Prism spectrometer mounts as an accessory to most upright, inverted and stereo microscopes
  • The PARISS spectrometer captures all wavelengths simultaneously
