Zurich Instruments HF2LI 50 MHz Lock-In Amplifier

"The Zurich Instruments HF2LI is a digital lock-in amplifier covering the frequency range between DC and 50 MHz. It is the instrument of choice for the characterization of MEMS devices such as gyroscopes and for measurements in the area of microfluidics. The HF2LI is equipped with the Zurich Instruments control software LabOne, which provides a web-based user interface featuring a spectrum analyzer, a sweeper and a basic oscilloscope, among others. A number of upgrade options can extend the functionality of the HF2LI to adapt to different applications. Furthermore, combining the HF2LI with the HF2TA Current Amplifier enables direct current readout."

Hamamatsu Photonics H7422-40 PMT

"The H7422 series are photosensor modules with an internal high-voltage power supply circuit and a cooler installed to the metal package photomultiplier tube having a GaAsP/GaAs photocathode. Efficient cooling was achieved by placing the cooler near the photomultiplier tube to reduce thermal noise emitted from the photocathode and a high S/N ratio can be obtained even at extremely low light levels. The H7422-40 has high sensitivity in the 300 nm to 740 nm wavelengths. The H7422-50 is sensitive along a wide spectral range from 380 nm to 920 nm. The photomultiplier tube is maintained at a constant temperature by monitoring the output from a thermistor installed near the photomultiplier and then regulating the current to the thermoelectric cooler."
