from the mirror is collimated (parallel). This light is dispersed into its various<br />

comp<strong>on</strong>ents up<strong>on</strong> striking the diffracti<strong>on</strong> grating (D), as different wavelengths of<br />

light will reflect at different angles. The dispersed light is collected via another<br />

spherical mirror (E) <strong>and</strong> refocused <strong>on</strong> the exit slit (F).<br />

Figure 5.9: Diagram of a Czerny-Turner m<strong>on</strong>ochromator.<br />

The desired b<strong>and</strong>pass of light exiting the m<strong>on</strong>ochromator (G) is yielded via<br />

rotating the grating (D) to the proper positi<strong>on</strong>. Diffracti<strong>on</strong> gratings c<strong>on</strong>sist of<br />

glass <strong>and</strong> a layer of deposited aluminum that has been pressure-ruled with a large<br />

number of fine equidistant grooves. They are designed to be maximally efficient<br />

at specific wavelengths (by varying grooves per distance), hence multiple gratings<br />

are required to cover wide wavelength ranges. Also, the range of wavelengths<br />

leaving the exit slit (G) is a functi<strong>on</strong> of the slit widths (B & F), which are user<br />

interchangeable.<br />
