Abstract

One aspect of the invention is a spectrophotometer detection circuit (189, 934, 1031). In this aspect of the invention, currents attributable to reference and sample beams are cancelled in the current mode. The detection circuit produces a first voltage proportional to the difference in currents and a second voltage proportional to one of the reference or sample beams.
Both voltages are available to allow simultaneous measurement and analysis.
Another aspect of the invention concerns thermal stability. According to the invention, thermal conductivity is established among the housing (112, 900, 1000) and optical system components to promote equilibrium. Another preferred embodiment has a unitary solid metal housing (900, 1000) with a hollowed portion (900a, 1000a) defined to mount and place optical system components.
Recognition and identification of important noise sources in spectrophotometers forms an aspect of the invention contributing to the features and combinations of features in preferred embodiments.
