Abstract: An adjustable Echelle spectrometer arrangement which can be used in single- and multi-element analysis by the emission or absorption of optical radiation. To compensate all the manufacturing and setup errors, the only arrangements present are those to change the height of the entry slit arrangement above the base plate and to rotate the dispersion prism about a first axis, approximately parallel to its roof edge, and about a second axis, that is vertical thereto. This compensates for the effect of errors associated with component and setup parameters which results from greater tolerances, without impairing mechanical and thermal stability and imaging quality.

Abstract: An apparatus for the positioning of ends of flexible light-conducting elements with the object of attaining a high position reproducibility of the fiber ends in an effective large-scale production technique, having the object of developing a technical solution so that it can be manufactured with a production technology in accordance with the accuracy requirements, so that a multitude of light-conducting fibers having defined positions are exactly fixedly correlated to defined positions. According to the invention, there are provided to one another essentially parallel thin surface elements which are secured at a distance and form an element package which is divided into two adjacent areas and within each one of the two areas there is provided at least an approximately equal distribution of pierced openings for the light-conducting elements.
