The beam from the xenon lamp is converged and strikes the excitation monochromator that disperses the
radiation via the large-aperture concave grating. Only radiation of the specified wavelength is allowed to
pass through the exit slit. After the exit slit, the excitation radiation strikes the sample.
The fluorescence (emitted radiation) enters the emission monochromator, where it is dispersed by the
monochromator. The selected radiation strikes the measuring detector (photomultiplier).
The monitor detector (photodiode) measures the intensity of the excitation beam as a function of time.
