1.2.1.1
Optics assembly light path
The detector provides an extremely efficient design for exceptionally high light
throughput. It operates as follows:
1. The ellipsoidal mirror collects light from the lamp and focuses it through the
filter wheel and onto the entrance slit. The spherical mirror directs light toward
the grating. A different portion of the spherical mirror focuses dispersed light of
a particular wavelength band, determined by the grating angle, onto the
entrance of the flow cell. Light exiting the flow cell passes through the cuvette
location to the sample photodiode.
2. The beamsplitter, located just ahead of the flow cell, diverts a portion of the
light to a reference photodiode.
3. When you enter a new wavelength through the detector’s front panel (or
through Empower or MassLynx software), the detector rotates the grating to the
appropriate position.
4. The preamplifier board integrates and digitizes the currents from the
photodiodes for processing by the signal processing electronics and output to a
computer, or integrator.
1.2.1.2
Waters TaperSlit flow cell
The Waters TaperSlit flow sell used in this detector renders the detector baseline less
sensitive to changes in mobile phase refractive index (RI). RI changes occur during
gradient separations or result from temperature or pump-induced pressure
fluctuations.
