iCAP Customer Familiarisation Manual
The dispersive elements in the optic system are the Echelle grating and the prism. The
orientation of the prism is such that the light is dispersed at right angles to the direction of light
dispersal by the grating. This combined dispersal generates a two dimensional spectrum
("echellogram") consisting of a wavelength and order separation.
The CID detector is cooled to -45ºC to increase sensitivity and dynamic range.
Warning: Before operating your iCAP ensure you read and understand all the safety
information in the iCAP 7000 reference guide.
