Question

List the five basic components of an optical instrument. Draw a block diagram illustrating their relative positions. What are the two basic requirements for a light source? You have begun your own business for the routine quantitative analysis of a compound that absorbs light strongly at 538 nm. The concentration of analyte in the sample is moderately high. There is a high demand for this work, suggesting several instrumental stations (same instrument) for high throughput. Initially, the budget is tight with limited funds. Consider the five basic components of an instrument and select the type of components that would be appropriate for this work and explain why? Be very precise and brief! Method of answering: refer to your answer for question #5 and be specific about each component. For example list the specific light source needed for this work and explain why.

Explanation / Answer

1) Typical optical instruments contain five components: (1) a stable source of radiant energy, (2) a transparent container for holding the sample, (3) a device that isolates a restricted region of the spectrum for measurement, (4) a radiation detector that converts radiant energy into a signal detector, (5) a signal processor and readout.
