An apparatus for measuring isotopic ratios provides four separate optical paths for separate measurement of each of two isotopes relative to a reference signal, using spectrally resolved infrared radiation. The design permits the measurements to be made accurately without significant time lags between measurements, and without interchanging of cells or filters.
