Abstract

A pre-monochromator having a grating monochromator includes an unsymmetrically ruled concave diffraction grating, by means of which a light source is directly imaged upon an exit slit. The diffraction grating is unsymmetrical with respect to the distribution of the grating constants such that the image distance remains substantially constant during the rotation of the diffraction grating.
