Spectrometric measuring device

A spectrometric measuring device for a measurement point of the process automation system, the device comprising:

• a broadband light source configured to emit a beam of light along a light path through a sample to be measured and through an entrance aperture, wherein the beam of the light defines an irradiation plane;
• a limiter disposed along the light path, the limiter configured to limit the beam at an angle to the irradiation plane such that the light that passes through the limiter is attenuated;
• a dispersive element configured to separate the light into its wavelengths;
• and
• a detector adpated to receive the light separated into its wavelengths by the dispersive element, wherein the detector is a two-dimensional detector and is oriented such that, at the angle, light is incident thereupon,
• wherein the light source emits the beam of light through the sample, the entrance aperture, the limiter and the dispersive element, and the light is subsequently incident upon the detector.
