An infra-red spectrometer employing interchangeable 60°-prisms with faces 10 by 15 cm of potassium bromide, sodium chloride, and lithium fluoride in Wadsworth-Littrow mounting is briefly described. A one-meter 10° off-axis paraboloid used for collimation. The radiation passing through the exit slit focused on thermocouple receiver means an ellipsoidal mirror foci at distances 42 6 cm. entrance has two sets curved jaws, one set LiF prism another NaCl KBr prisms. When prisms are changed...
