According to certain examples a spectrometer module for use in an imaging spectrometer includes a monolithic spectrometer body component made of an immersion material and including three mirrored surfaces configured to form a reflective triplet having an optical path immersed within the immersion material, the reflective triplet configured to receive incident optical radiation from an entrance face of the monolithic spectrometer body component and reflect the incident optical radiation along the optical path, and a dispersive element configured to receive and disperse the incident optical radiation reflected from the reflective triplet to provide dispersed optical radiation. The reflective triplet is configured to receive the dispersed optical radiation from the dispersive element and to reflect the dispersed optical radiation along the optical path to an exit face of the monolithic spectrometer body component.

Provided are a spectrometer capable of more effectively reducing stray light and an incident light limiting member to be used for the spectrometer. At least a part of light not entering an effective area of a diffraction grating is blocked by being reflected by a mask plate provided between an incidence plate and the diffraction grating. Further, the light reflected by the mask plate is attenuated in a trap space. Thus, the light blocked by the mask plate does not reach the diffraction grating side and does not function as a stray light source, so that stray light can be more effectively reduced.

An optical spectrometer module for analysing samples. The optical spectrometer module comprises two or more sample holders. Each sample holder is adapted to receive and reproducibly position a sample in fixed locations within the optical spectrometer module. Each sample holder is also adapted to receive a light beam to thereby enable a sample contained in the sample holder to be exposed to the received light beam. Each sample holder is further adapted to enable light transmitted through the sample holder to exit the sample holder. The optical spectrometer module also comprises two or more electro-thermal components. Each electro-thermal component is thermally coupled to a respective sample holder to control the temperature of the sample holder.

The light transmission path arrangement and the light collection path arrangement are optically isolated from one another.
