The amount of light collected by the spectrometer is the key factor influencing its overall sensitivity and ultimately the most important feature required to obtain high quality data even from weak sources.  Conventional spectrometers use an entrance aperture (slit) at a fixed distance from the grating to create a small source which is then dispersed and imaged onto the detector. In contrast to that the H+P spectrographs can be configured to directly image a radiation source positioned at any distance from the grating onto the detector. In practice this allows for the collection of 15 to 25 times as much light from point-like radiation sources compared to a conventional spectrometer with a 100µm entrance slit without degradation in spectral resolution.
