Figure 1 Optical System of the Detector
The illumination source is a deuterium-arc-discharge lamp [1] for the
ultraviolet (UV) wavelength range. Its light is focused by a lamp mirror [2]
onto the entrance of the Max-light cartridge flow cell [3] with optofluidic
waveguides. The light leaves the Max-light cartridge flow cell at the other side
and is focused by the fold mirror [4] through the slit assembly [5] onto a
holographic grating [6] light being dispersed onto the diode array [7]. This
allows simultaneous access to all wavelength information.
