Patent number: 5422483Abstract: A near infrared analyzer has, arranged on a base, a halogen tungsten lamp as light source, an optical stop for light from the source, an optical system for converging a flux of light for measuring and directing it to a measuring section and a system including an integrating sphere at which a sample is set. A spectrometer part has its entrance slit placed on the bottom surface of the integrating sphere, and includes a diffraction grating for diffraction and dispersion of incident light flux from the entrance slit, an arrayed detector and a reflective mirror for reflecting the diffracted light from the diffraction grating so as to be dispersed and focused on the surface of the detector.
