 Continuum Lamp

Resonance Ltd. RF Powered Continuum sources are designed to be reliable and maintenance free compact sources of emissions with an operating life in excess of 4000 hours.

The continuum sources are sealed RF excited sources with a window in an EMI shielded enclosure. The source mounts to a 2.75 inch or larger CF type flange. The source assembly has an integral RF exciter which is powered by a small wall plug power supply.
