HiperS-320iAberration-Free Imaging Spectrometer
By implementing a full focal plane aberration correction optical design, the HiperS-320i eliminates off-axis astigmatism across the entire sensor surface. This delivers superior multi-channel measurement capabilities, increased spectral resolution, and reliable, peak-accurate intensity measurements across large-format CCD and sCMOS detectors.
Key Technologies
Advanced Optomechanical Design
Engineered for high-end research applications including LIBS, Confocal Raman, Multi-track Fluorescence, and Transient Absorption Spectroscopy.
Multi-Port Configuration
Supports up to two automated entrance ports and two exit ports. Fully motorized optical path switching provides maximum experimental flexibility.
On-Axis Grating Turret
Grating rotation on the optical axis increases the active area of the diffraction gratings. Optimizes illumination efficiency and provides a 15% increase in grating utility.
Resolution Intensifier
A built-in optical intensifier module increases standard spectrometer resolution by up to 20%, concentrating photons into narrower, sharper peaks.
Intelligent Auto-Focus
Automatic focusing mirror adjusts positioning dynamically during grating rotation to maintain perfect focus and high spectral/spatial resolution.

Spectral Resolution Enhancement Module
Standard spectrographs encounter aberrations away from the center of the detector plane. The HiperS-320i incorporates a built-in Resolution Intensifier Module.
When engaged, this optical array optimizes the wave curvature. This reduces the spectral line Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) by approximately 20%.
Example: At 435.83 nm, the FWHM narrows from 0.120 nm down to 0.096 nm. This allows you to resolve closely spaced emission bands that would otherwise merge.
ðĄ Scientific Impact
By eliminating astigmatism, photons are not spread vertically across multiple pixel rows but are instead concentrated onto a minimal pixel footprint. This dramatically improves the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and absolute limit of detection for weak fluorescence or Raman signals.
