Abstract:
This spectrophotometer operates either as a spectrum scanning instrument or as a dual wavelength instrument. The conversion of the one type of spectrophotometer into the other is performed through a position change of cuvettes or an exchange of mirror blocks in the optical train thereof.
Abstract:
In the quantitative measurement of one of plural components contained in a specimen, three kinds of light wavelengths are used to eliminate the influence of two components except one to be measured. The outputs with respect to the three kinds of wavelengths are converted to the corresponding electric signals, which are in turn subjected to the logarithmic conversion. One output with respect to one of the three kinds of wavelengths is inverted in polarity and the polarity-inverted output is then combined with the other outputs so that the relationship between the light absorption quantity and the wavelength, concerning the component to be measured, can be obtained with the result that the quantity of the component in the specimen can be determined.
