ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a spectrophotometry for a spectral transmission measurement of an extremely small volume of sample solution. A sampler15is formed of a flat plate member formed with a sample-holding hole152which penetrates the flat plate member in its thickness direction and has a reverse truncated cone shape, and a target sample solution is dropped into the sample-holding hole152of the sampler15positioned approximately horizontally and held in the hole152based on a surface tension of the sample solution in the form of a droplet S. Then, a measurement light is emitted to the held droplet S from directly above. A transmitted light getting out of the droplet S downward is introduced to a diffraction grating19through a window plate17and a slit18, and dispersed in a wavelength dependent manner. The resulting light with dispersed wavelength components is detected by a multichannel detector20approximately simultaneously.
