Basic Components of Ir Instruments:
As IR spectrometry is also based on absorption spectroscopy such as UV-VIS spectrometry, the primary components of IR instruments are also same to that of the UV-VIS spectrometers, as elaborates in the previous unit. The necessary components of an IR instrument are as follows.
- A powerful and stable source of radiation
- To the radiation sampling device transparent
- Monochromator or frequency modulator
- Transducers or detectors,
- Signal processing and output device
