At the same time, the extinction light chamber 14 eliminates the excess scattered light.

[0036] A plurality of arc grooves 16 distributed in a circular shape are opened on the surface of the inner cover plate 15, and the arc grooves 16 are correspondingly distributed with the grating installation cavity 11.
