2.1.1 Optical System The V-530 is designed to measure the absorption spectrum of a sample at wavelengths in the range 190 to 1100 nm. The light sources used in the V-530 are a deuterium(D ) lamp (190 to 350 nm) for the UV region and a halogen (WI) lamp (340 to 1100 nm) for the VIS/NIR region.
2.2 V-550/560/570 Spectrophotometers Optical System 2.2.1 Optical System Figures 2.3 through 2.5 show the optical systems of the V-550, V-560 and V–570 spectrophotometers, respectively. The V-550 and V-560 measure the absorption spectrum of a sample at wavelengths in the range 190 to 900 nm and the V-570 measures the absorption spectrum of a sample at wavelengths in the range 190 to 2500 nm.

2.2.2 Electrical System Figure 2.6 shows the configuration of the electrical system used in the V-550, V- 560 and V-570. The light incident on the photomultiplier tube or Pbs photoconductive cell is converted into an electrical signal and, after being synchronously rectified, is converted into digital form and enters the microcomputer.

4 Maintenance This section contains instructions on how to clean the sample chamber when a sample is spilt, how to run the performance check to see if the instrument is operating normally, and on replacing consumables. Give consideration to the environment in which the instrument is to be operated. Keep the instrument and surrounding area clean so that the spectrophotometer may be used in a stabilized condition over a long period.
