ABSTRACT:
Systems and techniques for improved spectroscopy. In some embodiments, mechanical and/or optical zoom mechanisms may be provided for monochromator systems. For example, movable detector systems allow a detector to be positioned with respect to a dispersive element in order to obtain a first resolution. The detector systems may then allow the detector to be positioned with respect to a dispersive element to obtain a second different resolution. In some embodiments, spectroscopy of a first sample region may be performed using a plurality of excitation wavelengths. Multiple detectors may be positioned to receive light associated with different ones of the plurality of excitation wavelengths.
