In this experiment a 0.25-m monochromator (CS260 from Oriel) with a 600-line/mmgrating (blaze wavelength at 400 nm) and a 0.5-m monochromator (DK480 from CVI) with a 1200-line/mm grating blazed at 750 nm were used. For focusing and collimating the photons into and out of monochromators CS260 and DK480, a set of lenses with f=25mm and f=50mm were used, respectively.
