We describe the adaptation of an image dissecting detector to a visible/near‐ultraviolet radiation spectrometer used in laboratory plasma diagnostics. The detector has advantages in terms of sensitivity, fast scanning capability, and versatility over other detectors. We demonstrate several plasma diagnostics applications for the system.
