Abstract

The design and characteristics of a motor-driven unilaterally adjustable slit mechanism for use in monochromators is presented. The errors introduced due to the translation of the slit center are quantified and a wavelength correction algorithm is developed. The slit mechanism is shown to be simple, accurate, and precise.
