Abstract
A light source for an atomizing device, specifically an atom absorption spectrometer comprising one, two, or more lamps, whose ray can be selected by means of at least one two-dimensionally moveable optical selection element, and which can be directed in the direction of atomizing device. Fine-tuning is thereby achieved quickly with little constructive expenditure and with low costs. A very high degree of accuracy is possible from the selector through a rotational and highly adjustable rotation spindle.
Claims22
A light source for an atomizing device, comprising:
- at least one lamp emitting a ray;
- a selector movable at least in the direction of the atomizing device characterized by the fact that the selector is turned by means of a rotational spindle;
- and
- a steering element corresponding to each of said at least one lamp for directing the ray toward said selector.
An apparatus for directing a ray of light from a light source, comprising:
- a selector for directing the ray of light;
- a spindle for placing said selector;
- said spindle being rotatably movable for rotational positioning of said selector;
- said spindle being axially movable for axial positioning of said selector;
- said selector being aligned with an axis of rotation of said spindle;
- a central steering element aligned with the axis of rotation for directing the ray of light from the selector.
A light source for an atomizing device with at least one lamp, the ray of which is selected by means of at least one optical selector movable at least in the direction of the atomizing device characterized in that said at least one optical selector is rotatable by a spindle;
- and
- the ray path of the light source is arranged subsequent to the selector and a central steering element, which radiates essentially at 90° to the direction of the atomizing device.
