  • Adapter set for Lhires III (camera with 25mm backfocus)

    This adapter set for the Shelyak Lhires III spectroscope provides the precise mechanical connection for cameras that require a backfocus between 23.35mm and 27.35mm, ensuring the sensor is positioned correctly at the focal plane for high-resolution spectroscopy.

    Precise Spacing for Lhires III: The 23.35mm to 27.35mm Backfocus Solution

    In spectroscopy, achieving perfect focus is paramount. This adapter set is engineered to solve the specific backfocus challenge for cameras in the 23.35mm to 27.35mm range, positioning the sensor precisely where the Lhires III forms its spectrum. This specificity is its strength, but also its limitation: it is not a universal adapter and will only work for cameras within this exact window.

    • Critical for Resolution: Without this exact spacing, spectral lines will appear blurred, compromising the resolution and scientific value of your data by destroying the sharpness of emission and absorption lines.
    • Eliminates Guesswork: Provides a rigid, repeatable connection that removes a major variable from your optical train, allowing you to focus on data acquisition.
    • Designed for Lhires III: Mates seamlessly with the spectroscope's optical output, maintaining the alignment necessary for accurate results.

  • What cameras are compatible with this Shelyak Lhires III adapter set?

    This adapter set is designed for any camera, typically a CCD or CMOS model, that has a native backfocus distance between 23.35mm and 27.35mm. You must check your camera's technical specifications to confirm its backfocus before purchasing this adapter.

    Why is a specific backfocus adapter like this needed for the Lhires III?

    The Shelyak Lhires III spectroscope has a fixed focal plane where the spectrum is formed. This adapter ensures the camera's sensor is placed exactly at that plane. Incorrect spacing results in a defocused spectrum, which blurs spectral lines and makes the data unusable for scientific analysis.

    Can I use this Lhires III adapter if my camera's backfocus is outside the 23.35mm to 27.35mm range?

    No, this adapter set is not suitable for cameras outside the specified 23.35mm to 27.35mm backfocus range. Using it would prevent you from reaching proper focus. Shelyak offers different adapter sets for cameras with other backfocus requirements.

    I'm trying to capture the spectrum of Vega (Alpha Lyrae) with my Lhires III. Will this adapter work with a camera that has a 25mm backfocus?

    Yes, absolutely. A camera with a 25mm backfocus falls perfectly within the 23.35mm to 27.35mm range of this adapter set. It will provide the correct spacing to achieve a sharp, high-resolution spectrum of bright stars like Vega with your Lhires III.

    If I'm studying the H-alpha emission line of a nebula with the Lhires III, how does this adapter help?

    By ensuring your camera sensor is perfectly focused, this adapter allows the Lhires III to resolve fine details within the H-alpha emission profile. Precise focus is critical for detecting subtle Doppler shifts or structural changes in the emission line, which would be lost with incorrect spacing.

    Is this the only part I need to connect my camera to the Lhires III spectroscope?

    This adapter set provides the correct backfocus spacing. However, you must also ensure that your camera's body has the appropriate mechanical threads to connect to the adapter itself. Please verify the thread type on both your camera and the Lhires III's output before assembly.
