3.12.2 Types of detector
MCT detector
The mid-band MCT detector is the standard detector
for all microscope variants of the HYPERION series.
This detector cover a spectral range from 12,000 -
600 cm
-1
.
In addition to the standard MCT detector, there are
other optional MCT detectors available which differ
from the standard detector with regard to spectral
range, detection sensitivity and hold time.
☞ See section A.5.
The MCT detector is a single-element detector (ele-
ment size: 0.25 mm x 0.25 mm).
This type of detector is designed for spectroscopic
measurements in the mid-infrared range.
FPA detector
The FPA detector can be installed in a
HYPERION 3000 microscope only.
The FPA detector is a multi-element detector. The avail-
able FPA detectors have a different number of detector
elements.
