1. An apparatus for oscillating a spectral dispersing element of a monochromator, comprising:

  • a spatial linkage mechanism for accepting a rotational input from a motive source and converting said rotational input into an oscillatory motion, said spatial linkage mechanism comprising;

    a first coupler for receiving said rotational input directly from said motive source, said first coupler rotating in accordance therewith;

    a link coupled to said first coupler; and

    a second coupler coupled to said link;

    wherein said link translates said rotational input of said motive source, as supplied thereto by said first coupler, to said oscillatory motion;

    said link imparts said oscillatory motion to said second coupler, and said second coupler oscillates said spectral element.
