Correcting data with the TRIAX
Introduction
General comments about data correction are found in Chapter 4:
Optimizing Data Ac-
quisition
. This section deals with the procedures that are different when using the
TRIAX.
Correction-factor file names for multiple gratings
When the Fluorolog
®
-3 uses a TRIAX (which
contains multiple gratings) or multiple detectors,
multiple correction-factor files are required. Each
of these has a unique file name, which needs
deciphering. Following are rules to guide the
correct choice of correction-factor files.
1
The first two characters show the type of correc-
tion-factor file.
MC
= emission correction-factor file
XC
= excitation correction-factor file
2
After
MC
, the next several
characters determine the
appropriate detector:
2658
= near-IR detector
928
= R928P photomultiplier tube
CD
= CCD array
DSS
= InGaAs detector
3
The next one or two characters give the grat-
ing’s groove-density:
15
= 150 grooves/mm
12
= 1200 grooves/mm
6
= 600 grooves/mm
3
= 300 grooves/mm
4
Then comes a separator,
x
.
5
Finally, the last characters show the blaze of the
grating:
300
= 300 nm
330
= 330 nm
500
= 500 nm
750
= 750 nm
etc.
