3.0 General Operation
Fig 3.4(a)
STEP 3:
The drop must be a stable sessile drop for
accurate results to be obtained. The drop
should stand upright on the plinth, be
proud of the quartz surface and be of
uniform shape.
The drop must be similar to the drop
shown in Fig 3.4(a).
Fig 3.4(b)
If the drop is similar to the drop shown in
Fig 3.4(b), It must be removed and a new
sample must be pipetted.
NOTE: If the drops are
consistently like those shown in
Fig 3.4(b) it may be due to
contamination of the plinth. In
this case cleaning or changing of
the plinth may be necessary (See
section 4.0 Maintenance).
Fig 3.5.
STEP 6:
Rotate the lid back so that it clicks into
place with the light source directly over
the plinth.
Fig 3.5.
NOTE: Do not rotate the lid
more that 120˚ at one time.
Always allow for the lid to click
into place before moving it
again.
STEP 5:
Use the Cary 50/60 Win UV software to
take a measurement of the blank sample.
