Components of Optical Instruments Typical spectroscopic instruments contain five components: (1) a stable source of radiant energy, (2) a transparent container for holding the sample, (3) a device that isolates a restricted region of the spectrum for measurement, (4) a radiation detector that converts radiant energy into a signal detector, (5) a signal processor and readout.

Rayleigh & Raman Scattering Occur when the dimensions of the particles that cause the scattering are small in comparison to the wavelength of the incident radiation. Dissolved particles can result in Rayleigh and Raman scattering. ® A type of Raman Spectrometer: FRA 106/S Spectrometer ®

Sources of Radiation Requirements ® Sufficient power ® Stability over long periods of time

Sources of Radiation Requirements ® Sufficient power ® Stability over long periods of time ® Voltage regulation required as radiant power varies exponentially with voltage
