Abstract From the Canadian patent

SPECTROPHOTOMETER, Abstract, The spectrophotometer consists of a plate having a linear photodiode array and an entrance aperture, a lens 8 and a reflecting dispersing element preferably designed as an echelon grating. The entrance aperture is in the focal plane of the lens. Since all beams entering through the entrance aperture are directed by the lens in parallel to the optical axis all beams forming any angle of divergence, or enclosing any angle within the optical axis provided, these angles are smaller than the aperture angle of the lens can be, measured with the same sensitivity and the same resolution.
