  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008271",
  "term": "Optical multi-channel analyser",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An instrument that simultaneously detects and measures light intensity across a range of wavelengths. It consists of a spectrograph to disperse the light and a detector array, such as a charge-coupled device (CCD), to capture the spectral information. This device is widely used in spectroscopy for rapid acquisition of full spectra, for example, in kinetic studies or transient absorption measurements.",
