Nominal spectral resolution

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007998",
  "term": "Nominal spectral resolution",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A characteristic value indicating the ability of a spectrometer to distinguish between two closely spaced spectral features. It is often expressed as the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the instrument's response to a monochromatic input. This value provides a general indication of the instrument's resolving power.",
