Description

Many chemical species absorb light in either the visible or ultra violet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This absorption is caused by the changing electron energy levels in the molecule and is therefore characteristic of the molecular structure. The technique is particularly useful for performing rapid quantitative concentration measurements of organic species in solution. Ultraviolet and Visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy is the measurement of the attenuation of a beam of light after it passes through a sample or after reflection from a sample surface.

The light source is usually a deuterium discharge lamp for UV measurements and a tungsten-halogen lamp for visible and NIR measurements. The instruments automatically swap lamps when scanning between the UV and visible regions. The wavelengths of these continuous light sources are typically dispersed by a holographic grating in a single or double monochromator or spectrograph. The spectral band pass is then determined by the monochromator slit width or by the array-element width in array-detector spectrometers. Spectrometer designs and optical components are optimized to reject stray light, which is one of the limiting factors in quantitative absorbance measurements. The light beam is redirected automatically to the appropriate detector when scanning between the visible and NIR regions.
