The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mercury’s Weather-Beaten Surface: Understanding Mercury in the Context of Lunar and Asteroidal Space Weathering Studies (2014, methodology): “This feature is generally absent in whole-disk spectra of Mercury (Vilas 1985; McClintock et al. 2008, 2009) and in disk-resolved MASCS spectra (McClintock et al. 2008, 2009).”
The Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) for the MAVEN Mission (2015, methodology): “The use of CsI for the FUV minimizes the detection of background scattered light from visible and near ultraviolet wavelengths and permits FUV wavelengths to be observed at increased spectral resolution in second order (Hord et al. 1992; McClintock and Lankton 2007; Stewart et al. 1972).”
MESSENGER Mission Overview (2007, methodology): “…and its variation with geological unit can be inferred, and the UVVS component of the MASCS instrument will produce global maps of exospheric species abundances versus altitude and their temporal variations over four Mercury years and a range of solar activity (McClintock and Lankton 2007).”
