In a conventional “dispersive” instrument, the monochromator is before the sample and the sample receives one wavelength at a time. After the sample, there is only the detector.he NIR monochromator can also be checked using the second order 1312.6 nm line. Please note that the photomultiplier is used for all tests (even the NIR wavelength accuracy – due to the fact that it is a second order effect and so the detector is still actually detecting at 656.1 nm).
