Abstract
The present invention refers to a spectrometer device comprising a monochromator means, a light-measuring means receiving light from said monochromator means, and a calibration means comprising a calibration light source. The present invention provides a new spectrometer device whose light-measuring means comprises a plurality of light-measuring elements in an array extending in the direction of dispersion of the monochromator means, and whose calibration means carries out, on the basis of a spectral light measurement with the aid of the calibration light source, an association between the light-measuring elements and the wavelengths of the spectral light which is adapted to be detected by the respective light-measuring elements. These measures substantially facilitate the calibration and especially the automatic execution of said calibration, if desired simultaneously with a spectra measurement, and they improve the accuracy of the calibration.
