Update
Q: micro-volume spectrophotometer
Answer:
compress 1-2.5uL between 2 pedestals
compressed sample forms a short column and light is delivered and det3ected using
fiber
optical cable inserted into the center of both pedestals
Q: detectors
Answer:
quantify intensity and sometimes wavelength of light
convert light to electrical signal and amplify it
to send to computer
Q: PMT, CCD, silicon photodiodes
Answer:

Q: if absorbance is 2
Answer:
how much light absorbed by analyte 99
Q: why do absorption spectra have different peaks, valleys, and flat regions
Answer:
because e changes
at every wavelength
Q: SHAPE of absorption spectra
Answer:
will not change if the concentration is different
only the height of regions will change proportionally with C
Q: why do we calibrate the spectrophotometer
Answer:
accounting for instrument error
