Specifications

  • Model: Varian Cary 50.
  • Monochromator: Czerny-Turner.
  • Beam splitting system: Beam splitter.
  • Detectors: 2 silicon diode detectors.
  • UV-Vis limiting resolution (nm): ≤ 1.5 nm.

Principles

The principles of spectroscopic analysis rely on passing light of a known wavelength through a sample and measuring how much of the light is absorbed. (An alternative to this is to measure how much light is reflected.) A spectrophotometer must be able to generate discrete wavelengths of light, pass these through a sample and measure the absorption that has occurred.
