Abstract

A measuring head, in particular a manual device for the determination of photometric data, includes an optical illuminating device with an aspherical mirror having a groove which extends in an annular manner around an axis of rotational symmetry of the groove, and which, in cross-section, has the configuration of an elliptical segment. The measuring optics to detect the light reflected from a measuring spot forms a round measuring spot on an ellipse at the inlet slit of a monochromator, for which a spherical/cylindrical lens, a first glass rod and a second glass rod are used, the glass rods being provided with cylindrical surfaces, the associated cylinder axes of which are crossed with each other.
