Microprocessor automation of a UV-visible monochromator

چکیده
Introduction Isolation of selected wavelengths of light with high resolution grating monochromators is a common operation in spectrochemical methods of analysis. Commercial monochromators and monochromator controllers are often unable to control the monochromator’s operating parameters with the resolution required in automated systems. If a monochromator is to be used in a completely automated system its controller should provide a number of important capabilities: initialisation of wavelength and slitwidth operation; calibration of the wavelength and slitwidth; the ability to select any wavelength available; the ability to set any slitwidth available; provide operator interaction directly (stand-alone mode); and permit interaction with other microprocessors in the measurement system (slave mode). The controller should be extremely reliable for unattended use. In addition, the controller should also be able to operate in high noise environments without loss of accuracy and should not be the source of noise that will affect the operation of other parts of the instrument. The EU-700 (GCA/McPherson, 530 Main Street, Acton, MA, 01720, USA.)monochromator [1] was used in this study because it can be readily modified to provide these capabilities.

Novel apparatus for the automationof solvent extraction
greater than the monochromator's specification, it should be noted that the monochromator used in this study is over ten years old. Because this error is a rather smooth and stable function of wavelength, it is possible to calculate the wavelength of an unknown emission line in a complex sample to an accuracy better than the monochromator specification. The measured wavelength is slightly depen...
متن کاملA stigmatic ultraviolet-visible monochromator for use with a high brightness laser driven plasma light source.
Laser driven plasma light sources offer highly intense output in the UV-visible region combined with a source size as small as 100 μm. In order to effectively use the small source size in high brightness applications, a stigmatic monochromator and focusing system must be used. Here we describe a simple brightness preserving optical system that should be useful across a broad range of applicatio...
متن کاملDevelopment of an online UV–visible microspectrophotometer for a macromolecular crystallography beamline
Measurement of the UV-visible absorption spectrum is a convenient technique for detecting chemical changes of proteins, and it is therefore useful to combine spectroscopy and diffraction studies. An online microspectrophotometer for the UV-visible region was developed and installed on the macromolecular crystallography beamline, BL38B1, at SPring-8. This spectrophotometer is equipped with a dif...
متن کاملZnFe2O4 nanoparticle: Synthesis and photocatalytic activity under UV-vis and visible light
In the present work, the ZnFe2O4 nanoparticle has been successfully synthesized. The obtained sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and its optical property was examined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. FE-SEM revealed that the particle size of the ZnFe2O4 of about 47 nm was synthesized. The photocatalytic performance under UV-Vis and vi...
