ABSTRACT:
A spectrometer generates Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) measurements having an exceedingly high signal-to-noise ratio, as well as a greater wavelength range over which measurements may be accurately provided. This is achieved by utilizing reflective optics (preferably solely reflective optics, i.e., no refractive elements) to supply a concentrated and collimated input light beam to a sample within a sample cell, and similarly collecting the light output from the sample cell via reflective optics for supply to a detector.
