Abstract
A monochromator has three ports or slits including two entrance slits and an exit slit. A single mirror and a diffraction grating define a first, folded path between an entrance slit on one side of the housing and an exit slit on the opposite side of the housing. The mirror is movable in and out of a second path between the second entrance slit and the grating so that a second path may be completed from the second entrance slit to the grating and thence to the exit slit. Alternatively two of the ports may be used as exit slits and one as an entrance slit.
