Slit Width (G7117B)
The 1290 Infinity DAD (G7117B) has a variable slit at the entrance of the
spectrograph. This is an effective tool to adapt the detector to changing demand
of different analytical problems.
A narrow slit provides spectral resolution for analytes with very fine structures in
the absorbance spectrum. An example of such a spectrum is benzene. The five
main absorbance bands (fingers) are only 2.5 nm wide and just 6 nm apart from
each other.
