ABSTRACT:
A dual-beam ratio recording spectrophotometer has signal processing circuitry for determining the transmittance of a substrate. The signal processing circuitry has a bandwidth which is dependent on the magnitude of the radiation passing through a reference cell and includes control logic circuitry which produces a pulse whose width is proportional to the square of the magnitude of the radiation detected when the beam passes through the reference cell. A sample and hold circuit whose sample time is controlled by this pulse samples the output of an integrator which produces at regular intervals a signal representative of the transmittance of a substance. Thus, the response time of the sample and hold circuit and hence the bandwidth of the signal processing circuitry depends on the magnitude of the radiation passing through the reference cell.
