Description
Tracor Northern TN-6500 Rapid Scan Spectrometer OMA Diode Array System
Benchtop optical multichannel analyzer (OMA) spectrometer with thermoelectrically cooled Hamamatsu silicon diode array detector. Designed for rapid spectral analysis and optical signal detection across multiple wavelengths.
Specifications & What's Included
- Detector: Hamamatsu thermoelectrically cooled silicon diode array
- Monochromator: Three-grating capable with manual central wavelength selection
- Controller: Diode array detector controller with read-out unit and CRT monitor
- Cart-mounted system on Tektronix Tek Lab Cart Model 3
- Includes operator's manual, software on 5.25" floppy diskettes, Hamamatsu power supply-tube unit, fiber optic cable, and accessories
Applications
OMA spectrometer systems like this were used for real-time spectral measurements in research laboratories, analytical chemistry, and optical testing. The diode array detector enables simultaneous wavelength detection across a spectral range. Compatible with laboratory setups requiring rapid scan capabilities and optical signal acquisition from UV-visible wavelengths.
This Tracor Northern TN-6500 Rapid Scan Spectrometer system powers up and displays program information on the monitor, but we were unable to test it further in-house. It is being sold as-is for parts or repair for that reason. The system appears to be complete: the monochromator, Hamamatsu diode array detector with power supply-tube unit, controller/keyboard unit, CRT monitor, Operator's Manual, 5.25-inch software diskettes, and Tektronix Tek Lab Cart Model 3 are all present and visible in the photos. A Tektronix P660I Temperature Probe Instruction Manual, a fiber optic cable, and a small bag of accessories are also included. Cosmetically the system shows normal wear consistent with lab use — paint and cabinet surfaces appear intact. No functionality is guaranteed beyond the observed power-on behavior. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
