1-2 2998 PDA Detector Optics Principles
Detector optics
The detector is an ultraviolet/visible light (UV/Vis) spectrophotometer. With a
photodiode array of 512 photodiodes and an optical resolution of 1.2 nm, the
detector operates within a range of 190 to 800 nm.
The figure below illustrates the light path through the optics assembly of the
detector.
