figure 6.19 NIR spectrophotometer “Nanolog” for nanoparticle research located in the
optical Spectroscopy Core, Washington University, St. louis. The system features a T-shaped
geometry; Xe lamps; a double grating excitation monochromator for highest stray-light
rejection; cuvette holder with 90° angle and front face detection for measuring fluorescence in
solution, solid, and opaque systems; and imaging spectrographs with a kinematic turret for
multiple gratings and multiple NIR detectors. (The schematics were kindly provided by
Horiba, Inc.) ( See insert for color representation of the figure.)
