It is my understanding that the Zeiss META
uses the Hamamatsu H7260 32 array PMT. If I divulge my source, I will be
killed.

No, the Zeiss has a 32-channel detector
and I'm pretty sure
it is the same Hamamatsu
unit. It's just that they can only read
out 8 channels at once. So you need 4 passes to read
out all

From my understanding, the Zeiss Meta has an 8-detector
array, so more than one scan is needed if the desired bandwidth detection is
greater than ~135 nm using the finest lamda resolution (10.7 nm).

We do not have a Nikon C1si, so can't answer your question
specifically. If anyone is interested though, I happened to wonder about
the nature of the spectral detector, and Hamamatsu
has a PMT Model number H7620 which is a 32-PMT array, that I suspect is very
similar to the one used in the Zeiss META and possibly the C1si. (Zeiss would
not say if this is the case...). The detectors are 0.8 mm wide, with a
center-to-center distance of 1 mm. Specs can be downloaded from the Hamamatsu web site.

I'm
interesting in hearing of people's experience with the Nikon C1si.
I've
not seen it discussed much on this list and I don't think there have been any
in Australia
up until now.
