Optical System
Light source:
a 12-Volt 20-Watt krypton-halogen lamp is used which has a high emission in the UV
range (320 nm-380 nm)
Collimating lenses:
3 plane-convex lenses are used.
Wavelengths:
340-380-405-450-505-546-578-600-650 and 700 nm and an extra filter as optional.
Beam splitter:
Divides the primary beam into two secondary beams: one goes towards the sample
channel and the other goes to the reference channel.
Sample channel:
The sample channel beam passes through the cuvette to the sample photosensor,
where the signal is read.
Reference channel:
The reference channel beam is read by the reference photosensor. The reference
channel compensates possible light source fluctuations.
