Spectrophotometer
Abstract
Abstract A SPECTROPHOTOMETER WHICH INCLUDES AN OPTICAL SYSTEM ARRANGED BETWEEN THE EXIT SLIT OF A MONOCHROMATOR AND THE SAMPLE CELL SO THAT THE MERIDIONAL AND SAGITTAL IMAGE PLANES OF THE OPTICAL SYSTEM ARE AXIALLY DISPLACED FROM EACH OTHER, THEREBY CAUSING THE BUNDLE OF MONOCHROMATIC LIGHT RAYS TO HAVE A WELL DEFINED, VERY THIN AND SUBSTANTIALY EQUAL CROSS SECTIONAL AREA FOR A LONG DISTANCE ALONG THE OPTICAL AXIS OF THE SYSTEM. WITHIN THIS DISTANCE THE SAMPLE CELL IS PLACED SO THAT THE CELL CAN BE MADE LONGER THAN THE CELLS USED IN THE PRIOR ART SPECTROPHOTOMETERS, WITH THE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA OF THE BUNDLE OF MONOCHROMATIC LIGHT RAYS PASSING THROUGH THE SAMPLE IN THE CELL SUBSTANTIALLY CORRESPONDING TO THE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA OF THE SAMPLE THROUGH THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE CELL. THIS EN- SURES EFFICIENT AND ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF SAMPLES, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF RELATIVELY LOW CONCENTRATIONS.
