CAUTION
Oxygen Deficiency due to Presence of Nitrogen
(when using Ultra Violet region measurement system)
If nitrogen purging is carried out for long hours in a narrow
room without operating an exhaust duct, the oxygen
concentration in the room will decrease and an oxygen
deficiency could result. Be sure to operate an exhaust duct
or else open a window during the purge for ventilation
purposes.

2.4.2 Signal Processing Figure 2-6 shows the signal processing and control system of the
and Control Model U-4100 Spectrophotometer.
System The instrument is roughly divided into two units: main unit for
mechanical control of the spectrophotometer and personal
computer unit for setting of measuring conditions and secondary
processing of measurement result data. Each unit has the
following functions.
The measuring conditions, print items, etc. are set with the
mouse and keyboard. The measuring conditions are sent
to the spectrophotometer main unit though communication
for control of the spectrophotometer. The received
measured values are subjected to LOG calculation to
determine the absorbance (Abs). The results thus
obtained are output onto the CRT and printer.
In addition, smoothing, differentiation, area calculation,
rescaling, data storage, etc. are carried out for the
measurement results.

3.2 Wavelength Calibration
For wavelength calibration, use the bright line (656.1 nm) of the
D2 lamp (light source lamp).
Make sure that there is nothing in the sample compartment and
close the sample compartment lid properly. After that, click the
Instrument Calibration (C) command - Wavelength Calibration
from the Spectrophotometer (S) menu.
Wavelength calibration is then carried out automatically.
(1) Make sure that there is nothing at the sample side and
reference side of the cell holder. Then click the Baseline
Measurement (B) command from the Spectrophotometer
(S) menu or click the button on the spectrophotometer
tool bar. The window shown in Fig. 3-3 then appears.

5.3 Replacement of Light Source Lamp
WARNING
Injury due to Light Source Lamp
The D2 lamp uses a power supply voltage of 500 V.
Touching the lamp with power on could give you an electric
shock, resulting in fatal or serious injury. Make sure the
spectrophotometer POWER is OFF before replacing the
lamp.
CAUTION
Touching Hot Part Could Result in Burns
The D2 lamp or WI lamp become very hot during use, and
you may be burned if you touch them. Turn OFF the
spectrophotometer POWER switch and wait until the lamps
cool down before attempting to replace them.
(1) Turn off the power switch. After that, wait for about 20
minutes until the lamp assy cools down sufficiently.

But it is possible to alter size and position of the mask image by
inserting a thin lens. So an image can be formed at different
positions and in different sizes by altering the position or focal
length (f) of the thin lens. Try your own setting according to
sample size with reference to this example.
The example represents standard optics. For more sophisticated
optics, contact us separately.

(3) Ray Trace (width direction)
We have calculated the lens position and focal length (f) for
forming an image at the desired location and with the
desired width in the above (1) and (2). This result serves
only to judge the profile of the imaging point.
For examination of the optical system it is important to know
the beam trajectory up to imaging and thereafter.

(4) Confirmation of Beam in Vertical Direction
(a) The lens position and focal length (f) are the same as
those determined in the horizontal direction. The size
and location of the image CD differ slightly between the
horizontal and vertical directions.
(c) The location and size of the light source mask image
AB are slightly different from those in the horizontal
direction.

Figure 8 shows another ray trace of the sample
compartment beam. Sample beam is viewed from its
front, namely in the vertical direction.
The monochromatic beam emitted from the
monochromator forms a light source mask image
(erect virtual image) at a point 297.3 mm from the exit
of sample compartment toward the monochromator via
various mirrors. This position is fixed in all cases.
Hence, we assume that a light source (object) of
3.1 mm height is located at this position. Now, by the
effect of toroidal mirror (f=122.2) a mask image is
generated at 6 mm backward from the sub white plate.
Next, we can go to calculation for the ray trace in the
vertical direction as we have done in the horizontal
direction. The lens position has been determined
above already. Then we can know the size of the
7.8 mm mask image at 6 mm forward from integrating
sphere entrance that is generated by inserting the lens.
The whole result of ray trace in the vertical direction is
shown in Fig. 9.
