❖ UV source: D2 arc lamp, Xeon arc lamp, UV-Vis spectrometer
Tungsten filament, LED (Visible).
❖ Monochromator: Splits the incident
radiation into specific wavelength using Due to high noise, Fourier transform is
a prism. generally not used.
❖ Detector: Absorb IR radiation and
converts into electricity.
❖ Sample: Solid/Liquid.

❖ UV-Vis: Absorption (high intensity difference → logscale gives better result).
❖ IR: Transmittance (less intensity difference).
