    1. Have a general understanding of the characteristics of an ideal transducer. Understand the differences between single channel and multichannel transducers.

      Harvey 10.3.1

    2. Know the two general types of radiation transducers: photoelectric and heat. Specifically, be able to describe how the phototube, photomultiplier, silicon photodiode, photodiode array, CCD, thermocouple, and pyroelectric transducers operate. (AES web page)
    3. Determine which materials would be necessary to construct specific spectroscopic instruments. Figure 7-2 & 7-3 from: D.A. Skoog, F.J. Holler, and S.R. Crouch, Principles of Instrumental Analysis, (Thomson, Brooks/Cole, Belmont, CA 2007), 6th ed., Chap. 7, pp. 166-167.
