Sequential spectrometers use a dispersive element (grating) in combination with entrance and exit slits for selection of specific wavelengths. Geometric arrangements include the Czerny-Turner and the Ebert-geometry, both offering high resolution measurements. However, they do not permit simultaneous recording of different
spectral lines, even for single emission line intensity, and adjacent
spectral background has also to be measured sequentially.
