A Spectrophotometric Attachment for the Vacuum Ultraviolet

Abstract

An absorption spectrophotometric attachment to a vacuum uv monochromator was built and tested. With the sample chamber empty, the ratio of the radiant flux through the sample chamber to the radiant flux through the reference chamber was measured. By optimizing the conditions at the entrance slit, the ratio was kept constant within experimental error over the region 1000 to 1600 angstroms. The transmittance of thin celluloid films was measured with the attachment.
