Abstract:
PURPOSE:To measure in a wide range highly efficiently by scanning a part unnecessary for analysis at a high speed and a necessary part at a low speed in a light emitting spectrum wavelength driving device of a plasma light emission spectral analyzer. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 1 decides relation to the number of pulses required for deceleration/acceleration out of the number NT of pulses for the whole scanning driving distance and initializes 20-bit counters 5, 6 and a deceleration counter 4. A clock of 1kHz is inputted from a clock generator 27 to an up/down counter 14 on the basis of a start instruction. The output of a D/A converter 15 is increased in proportional to the increment of the counter 14 and frequency proportional to input current is obtained by a V/F converter 17. When the output of an amplifier 16 reaches a voltage corresponding to high speed frequency, constant speed operation is started and a pulse motor 36 is rotated by a pulse motor driving circuit 35. On the contrary, the driving device starts decelerating operation at a point close to the end point of the measuring range and the motor is finally stopped.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a high-precision spectrophotometer having corrected variance in grating constant by using a direct shaft driving type grating spectrophotometer which is mechanically simple and correcting variation of a diffraction grating automatically. CONSTITUTION:The spectrophotometer M is driven from a short-wavelength side, and after light of lambda1 is detected by a photodetector PD, wavelength driving is further carried on to detect light of lambda2. The difference DELTAtheta between both angle positions is obtained by counting input pulses to a diffraction grating driving pulse motor PM from the detection of the lambda1 to the detection of the lambda2. In equations 1 and 2, a diffraction constant (d) contains an error and is unknown, and thetao is also unknown. When the number of grating lines is normal, i.e. No/mm., the DELTAtheta in the equation 2 is obtained by calculation. The number of input pulses to the pulse motor corresponding to the DELTAtheta is calculated and stored in the memory of a computer previously. Which one in the memory the number of pulses corresponding to the DELTAtheta corresponds actually to is retrieved, the grating constant is found immediately and a wavelength origin is determined by the equation 1. Further, a constant 2dcosalpha is also fixed and then wavelength lambda is determined by the rotational angle of the diffraction grating.

Abstract:
A protective sheath having a closed end and an open end is sized to receive a hand held spectrometer. The spectrometer can be placed in the sheath to calibrate the spectrometer and to measure samples. In a calibration orientation, an optical head of the spectrometer can be oriented toward the closed end of the sheath where a calibration material is located. In a measurement orientation, the optical head of the spectrometer can be oriented toward the open end of the sheath in order to measure a sample. To change the orientation, the spectrometer can be removed from the sheath container and placed in the sheath container with the calibration orientation or the measurement orientation. Accessory container covers can be provided and placed on the open end of the sheath with samples placed therein in order to provide improved measurements.
