Control of Wavelength ( Calibration of UV-Spectrometer ) – Holmium Oxide

Calibration of UV-Spectrometer by Control  of  Wavelength holmium oxide

Holmium Oxide Solution


Weight accurately 1.0 gm of Holmium Oxide and dissolve it in 1.4 M Perchloric acid solution. Make up to 25 ml with the same solvent.


Go to spectrum mode

  • Make sure that Reference and sample cell holder is empty and press button for baseline correction(200 to 700).
  • Then keep the Holmium oxide filter in the sample cell holder
  • Close the cell compartment
  • Scan in the range of 200 to 700 nm for spectrum.
  • After scanned (go to Operations–click Peak Pick)
  • The spectrum shall show maximum at the following wavelength
  • And record the observed maxima.
Maxima at Wavelength (nm) Limit (nm)
241.15 240.15 to 242.15
287.15 286.15 to 288.15
361.5 360.5 to 362.5
536.3 533.3 to 539.3
