A spectrophotometer incorporating a pulsed light emitting diode as a source of radiation. The light emitting diode emits substantially monochromatic light thus negating the need for a separate wavelength control. The spectrophotometer may incorporate a pair of light emitting diodes for performing bichromatic spectrophotometric determinations. The light emitting diodes are pulsed with a duty cycle and pulse amplitude such that it is possible to obtain a higher amplitude pulse than the light emitting diode could sustain at a continuous voltage input level. Continuous voltages at this level would damage the light emitting diode.
