Installing the liquid sample holder
Figure 17. The liquid cell holder. "A" the flat side that must sit against the DRA, "B"
the raiser screw and "C" the screw for securing the attachment to the posts on the
DRA.
1. Screw the posts into position at the transmission port of the sphere.
2. Slide the liquid sample holder onto the posts. The flat side must sit against the
DRA.
3. Check the alignment of the cell holder using the target supplied. Ensure that
the beam is not clipping the edge of the sample holder and is centered on the
sample.
Hot Tip
To assist in preventing the beam from being clipped by the edge of any of the
attachments a SBW of 2 nm is recommended.
4. If necessary recheck the alignment of the DRA.
5. Load a cuvette into the sample holder so that transmission measurements of a
liquid sample can be taken.
