reversion spectroscope
a spectroscope in which two spectra alongside each other, one of which is reversed by optical means, are formed by the entering light. The two spectra may be moved longitudinally relative to each other by moving a micrometer screw. If two absorption bands are aligned when a particular substance, e.g. oxyhemoglobin, is viewed, the amount by which the screw has to be turned to align the same band when a mixture of the same substance and another with a similar absorption spectrum, e.g. carbonmonoxyhemoglobin, is viewed is related to the proportion of the second substance present.
