WAVELENGTH SELECTION
MONOCHROMATORS 1. Entrance slit- provides rectangular opgcal image 2. CollimaGng lens or mirror- makes light beams parallel 3. Dispersive element- disperses light into component wavelengths 4. Focusing element- reforms rectangular opgcal image focused on focal plane 5. Exit slit- on focal plane, selects desired bandwidth

THE REAL ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS Originally applied to analog computers to do simple math funcfons. Large open loop gains (10 4-10 6 )- large amplificafon. High input impedance (10 8-10 15 Ω)- doesn t mess with current from PMT. Low output impedance (0.001-1 Ω)- doesn t mess with reading voltage. Very low dark current- which can be easily offset.
CURRENT TO VOLTAGE CONVERTER Low resistance to source current Prevents loading error during current measurement High amplificafon of signal
