Abstract
A spectrophotometer having functions of both of a double-monochromator and a single-monochromator including a light source, a first spectroscope having a first slit through which light from the light source passes and a first dispersion element for dispersing the light from the first slit, a second spectroscope having a second slit for receiving light dispersed from the first dispersion element for dispersing the light from the second slit, and a third slit for receiving the light dispersed from the second dispersion element. A sample compartment is provided for transmitting the light from the first dispersion element or from the third slit directly to a detector or through a sample to the detector. An optical unit is provided for changing transmitting light paths between a first light path for transmitting the light from the first dispersion element to the sample compartment through a fourth slit and a second light path for transmitting the light from the third slit to the sample compartment. A length of a light path from the first dispersion element to the second slit is equal to a length of a light path from the first dispersion element to the fourth slit.
