Abstract

An accessory has been designed for the Beckman Model DK spectrophotometers for automatic recording of polarization modulated excitation spectra. The polarizer is continuously rotated while the excitation spectrum is scanned with the monochromator. The absorption, fluorescence, excitation and polarization spectra of rhodamine B in glycerol are used to illustrate performance.
