Device description and operating principle
Operating principle
Light sources
Sample compartment
Polychromator
The light sources used are a halogen lamp for the VIS and infrared region and a deuterium lamp for the UV region.
The lamp-selector slider serves to couple the light of either the halogen or the deuterium lamp, or the light of both lamps simultaneously into the optical path.
In measurement breaks, lamp radiation is shut off by shutters. That way, it is possible to perform dark-current measurements and protect the sample from unnecessary radiation exposure.
The optical setup with polychromator allows an open sample compartment. The bundle of rays is restricted by optical slits to the lamp compartment and the polychromator side each. The accessory units are clamped to the carrier rails of the sample compartment.
The polychromator used is the patented MCS module (Multi
Channel System) from Carl Zeiss. The entrance slit, the imaging holographic grating and the detector are embedded in a ceramic housing.
The undispersed light of the halogen and/or the deuterium lamp transmits the sample and is partly absorbed by the sample. The thus altered light is spectrally dispersed in the polychromator by the holographic grating. The produced spectrum is imaged onto the diode array. The measured values of the individual photodiodes thus represent the value of intensity I over a small spectral region. As this is done in a very fast process, this type of measurement is called simultaneous.
However, reading the individual photodiodes takes a certain time (integration time). This integration time can be varied within predefined limits. The shortest integration time possible depends, inter alia, on the number of photodiodes per line. A compromise has to be made in selecting the most favorable integration time. A smaller integration time means, that there is less time for the photodiode to capture the light to be measured. The level of the measured signal will be lower and thus the signal-to-noise ratio deteriorate.
On the other hand, a too high integration time may result in an intensity that exceeds the level the photodiode can receive (degree of saturation). The corresponding sections of the diode array are overdriven and the found transmission or absorbance values are wrong. However, a high integration time may be quite desirable if measurements shall be taken in low-energy regions of the spectrum (e.g. 900 – 1020 nm) and the overdriven areas are deliberately eliminated for the analysis. The system provides softwaresupported automatic search of integration times suitable for the analytical measuring range.
In absorption measurements, the incident intensity I
R
(reference value) and the intensity
I
S
attenuated by the sample is measured at every wavelength of interest. Measurement is in arbitrary units, as only the ratio of both values is of importance. Quantitatively, the absorption behavior is expressed in transmission T[%] or absorption A :
However, also the dark current must be considered for result generation. The dark current is the intensity I
D
of the ambient light that may enter the polychromator through the open sample compartment including the currents on the diode array caused by electronics. The intensity of the dark current must be subtracted from the intensities of sample and reference. The dark current can be measured automatically or – in very time-critical measurements – started manually. The corresponding options are to be selected along with other measurement parameters in WinASPECT ® software.

8.3.2 Note on the service life of lamps
820-60021-0
820-60013-0
The service life of lamps is:
• Halogen lamp: > 500 h (at 5.0 V operating voltage)
• Deuterium lamp: > 1000 h
The service life of the lamps is reduced, if the SPECORD
®
is frequently switched on and off. This particularly applies to the deuterium lamp, because of the relatively high ignition voltage required.
The following rule applies as criterion for the service life of the deuterium lamp:
With one daily ON/OFF switching operation, its radiation intensity is allowed to decrease to 50% after 1000 hours.
The deuterium lamp must be changed, if its heating coil has burnt out, its energy is insufficient or the operating hours counter indicates 2000 h.
8.3.3 Opening the flap of the lamp compartment
The flap of the lamp compartment is to be opened read the operating hours of deuterium lamp or change the lamps.
1. Switch the SPECORD
®
S600 off and allow the lamps to cool down sufficiently.
2. Release the lock (Fig. 12 / 2
) of the flap of the lamp compartment by folding the lock frontward so it sticks out approximately vertically from the SPECORD
