The Atomic Spectroscopy Group at NIST maintains a world-class collection of spectrographs for scientific research. Their instruments cover a wide spectral range from the extreme ultraviolet to the near infrared, allowing them to study hundreds of atomic systems for various applications including astronomy and industrial research.
The group operates several high-performance spectrographs:
1. 10.7m Normal Incidence Vacuum Spectragraph: Covers 30-500nm with 0.078nm/mm plate factor
2. 10.7m Eagle Spectrograph: Covers 200-1000nm with 0.078nm/mm plate factor
3. 10.7m Grazing Incidence Vacuum Spectrograph: Covers 3-70nm with 0.012nm/mm plate factor
4. 3.3m High-resolution Plane-grating Spectrograph: Covers 190-1200nm with 0.013-0.11nm/mm plate factor
5. 2.2m Grazing Incidence Vacuum Spectrograph: Covers 1-60nm with 0.016nm/mm plate factor
All instruments use photographic detection methods.
