It is also known as?
Light Source or Exciter Lamp
Emits radiation that changes in intensity very slowly as a function of wavelength
Continuum
Emit a limited number of discrete lines or bands of radiation
Line
Types of light source
Continuum and Line
Element that is the visible region of EMS
Tungsten
Element that provides UV radiation
Deutrium
Element that covers both UV and VR
Xenon
Kind of lamp that provides sharp lines in the UV and VR.
Used in several spectrophotometers
Mercury and Sodium Vapor Lamps
Component of spectrophotometer that excludes unwanted stray light.
Entrance Slit
Any light that impinges upon the detector that does not originate from a polychromatic light source.
Stray Light
Component of spectrophotometer that is used to select the appropriate wavelength
Monochromator
Types of monochromator
- Filters
- Prism
- Grating monochromators
- Holographic gratings
Types of filters
Pre sample filter and
post sample filters
Type of filter that limits the wavelengths of light that enter the sample
Pre-sample Filters
Type of filter that allows multi-wavelength light to pass through the sample
Post-sample Filter
Types of pre-sample filters
Absorption and Interference Filters
Type of pre sample filter that allows only limited domain of this spectrum to pass through the sample
Absorption Filters

Interference Filter
Component of Spectrophotometer that controls width of light beam
Exit Slit
Total range of wavelengths transmitted
Bandpass
Component of Spectrophotometer that is made of material that is transparent to radiation in the spectral region of interest.
