1. Light source: This is the component that emits light of a specific wavelength or range of wavelengths that is used to interact with the sample being analyzed.
2. Sample holder: This is where the sample being analyzed is placed in order for it to interact with the light source. The sample holder must be designed to accommodate different types of samples, such as liquids, solids, or gases.
3. Detector: This component detects the light that has interacted with the sample and converts it into an electrical signal that can be processed and analyzed by the spectroscopic device.
4. Monochromator: This component is used to separate the different wavelengths of light emitted by the light source so that specific wavelengths can be analyzed individually.
5. Optical filters/gratings: These components are used to selectively transmit certain wavelengths of light while blocking others, allowing the spectroscopist to focus on specific regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
6. Data acquisition system: This is the system used to collect, store, and process the data obtained from the detector, allowing for the generation of a spectroscopic spectrum.
