Optical System
Slit Assembly
Programmable Slit (G4212A)
The micro-slit system makes use of the mechanical properties of silicon
combined with the precise structuring capabilities of bulk micro-machining. It
combines the required optical functions — slit and shutter — in a simple and
compact component. The slit width is directly controlled by the
micro-processor of the instrument and can be set as method parameter.
