Monochromator: A monochromator is a device that separates light into its component wavelengths. This is accomplished using a prism or a diffraction grating. Learn what they are, how they work, and their uses. Justin Tom received his PhD in chemistry in 2018 under the supervision of Professor Heather Andreas at Dalhousie University. He is particularly interested in chemical analysis, surface. Monochromator in an x-ray beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory. Light containing various wavelengths can be broken down according to the wavelength.
