The Long Slit Mode

Long slit spectrometer is based on a 600 lines/mm grating blazed at 5000 Å, covering 4340-8970 Å spectral range with a typical spectral resolution is R=1200*.
First and second orders of the grating are split with a BK7 wedge prism with a 11° vertex angle. A Argon hollow cathode lamp is used for wavelenght calibration.


* with the popular KAF8300 CCD chip (18x13.5mm).
