Multichannel spectral devices that operate in the vacuum ultraviolet typically employ microchannel plates (MCP) detectors at the instrument focal plane. An alternative is to replace the MCP with a scintillator that converts the short wavelength light to the visible. A multichannel normal incidence spectrometer that incorporates a tetraphenyl-butadiene (TPB) scintillator has been coupled to an optical multichannel analyzer (OMA) by the use of high-quality camera lenses. These allow for magnification, or reduction, of the spectral image for high-resolution or spectral survey applications.
