The illumination source is a deuterium-arc-discharge lamp [1] for the ultraviolet
(UV) wavelength range. Its light is focused by a lamp mirror [2] onto the entrance
of the Max-light cartridge flow cell [3] with optofluidic waveguides. The light
leaves the Max-light cartridge flow cell at the other side and is focused by the fold
mirror [4] through the slit assembly [5] onto a holographic grating [6] light being
dispersed onto the diode array [7]. This allows simultaneous access to all
wavelength information.
