Spectral Coverage: approximate, use for reference purpose only.

Use 68 x 84mm Grating: When operating at high wavelengths (high grating angles).
The 68 x 84 mm grating preserves the light collecting power (aperture Ratio)

Center Wavelength to High: Refers to the mechanical rotation capability (not the operating or optimum range) of a grating drive. Lower the central wavelength or select a grating that allows operation over your required wavelength region.

CCD Resolution (FWHM): Refers to the resolution available with the selected detector or image intensifier.
