  "term": "Luminescence spectrometer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An analytical instrument designed to measure the intensity and spectral distribution of light emitted by a sample after it has been excited by electromagnetic radiation. It typically consists of an excitation source, a monochromator to select the excitation wavelength, a sample compartment, an emission monochromator, and a detector. These instruments are used for qualitative and quantitative analysis based on fluorescence, phosphorescence, or chemiluminescence.",
