holder.
Figure 32: The jaw style centre
mount.
The width limitation of the jaw style sample holder depends on the thickness of the
sample and the maximum angle of incidence the application requires. The jaws protrude
12 mm from the frame of the sample holder. If possible, the reflectance standard and
sample should be loaded so the reflecting surface is even with the front edge of the jaws.
This will place the front surface at the rotational axis of the sample holder.
Centre-Mount Cuvette Sample Holder
The transmission port cuvette holder is used for measuring the transmission of a liquid
sample. The centre-mount cuvette sample holder provides a liquid sample measurement
capability to the DRA accessory that includes the scattered component of transmitted
radiation. A centre-mounted cuvette allows the simultaneous measurement of a turbid
sample diffuse transmission and reflectance, so that absorbance can be derived in one
easy measurement. The device is ideal for measuring turbid samples such as sea water,
proteins, and other biological solutions. Measurements performed with this device are in
the 0°/d geometry. Since the cuvette is fixed at 0° angle of incidence, the specular
component of reflection is directed out of the sphere through the transmission port.
