Abstract

A modification to a Jarrell-Ash model 23-100 recording microphotometer used to read spectroscopic plates is described. The modification allows the motion of the plate to drive incrementally a stepper motor chart recorder. The modification uses inexpensive off-the-shelf components and was installed in the field. The plate reading accuracy of the instrument was improved by a factor of 2–5, and problems associated with occasional plate drive slippage were eliminated.
