Small LiF Prism Spectrometer for Space Applications
Abstract:
A small LiF prism constant deviation spectrometer of the Czerny-Turner type is described. The transmission in the vacuum uv is at least twice that of a typical Ebert plane grating spectrometer. Although designed for planetary astronomy, it is also useful for airglow experiments and interplanetary missions where compactness and low weight are desirable. Without a drive, it weighs 850 g and is roughly 17 cm x 10 cm x 7 cm. However, it is mechanically rugged with high wavelength stability in flight ( 1 A). With 0.5-mm entrance and exit slits the spectral resolution is 16 A at 1216 A.

Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.
Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
