The '''Tektronix 7J20''', which only appears in the 1975 catalog, is a "rapid scan" optical spectrometer for the 250 nm to 1100 nm region.
The '''Tektronix 7J20''', which only appears in the 1975 catalog, is a "rapid scan" optical spectrometer for the 250 nm to 1100 nm region. ''Rapid scan'' means that it can capture the spectrum quickly enough to show spectral changes at temporal resolution of a few milliseconds.
