F NUMBER MATCHING
The Cornerstone 130B monochromator is an F/3.9 instrument. Without matching the F/# of the
incoming light beam, stray light increases and throughput of desired signal suffers. To illustrate
this, the photos below show a fiber optic cable placed at the entrance of a monochromator. Fibers
are typically F/2. The Oriel model 77529 may be used to match the F/# to the monochromator.
