Features
Scitec Instruments Model 360 optical chopper system
consists of a chopper head, drive board, photochemically etched discs and an
interconnecting cable. This optical chopper uses 30mm diameter discs. The drive
board and chopping head have been designed to be as compact as possible. The
small size of the chopping head allows positioning in areas where space is
critical. As the system is designed for OEM use, each component is available
separately.
