Title: Peak Instruments WDS Spectrometer
Post by: Probeman on September 15, 2015, 11:41:23 AM
Does anyone have any info, schematics, pictures, etc of the old Peak Instruments WDS Spectrometer?

It had a six crystal turret and used an X/Y table for producing a variable Rowland circle.

I wanted to use this info in a talk if someone can help me.  I tried searching Google, but nothing showed up specific to the Peak Instruments WDS Spectrometer, at least with my choice of keywords.

If you're still interested I'm sure Nick Barbi, former CEO of Peak Instruments, could help you. He's got a new company called PulseTor and his contact info is on their website

Of course!  I had forgotten that Nick Barbi was Peak Instruments! 

I was curious about the WDS detector they used- I believe it was a tandem design...?    I will write him- thanks.
