Abstract
CONVENTIONAL prism monochromators have two main limitations: a limited resolution due principally to the finite size of the prism; and impurity of spectrum owing to light scattered from various optical components, particularly the prism. A great improvement in these two respects can be obtained by a simple method which converts a single-monochromator into a double- or multiple-monochromator.
