Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 An axial flow cell of the prior art '947 invention is shown along with a typical set of accessories required to maintain its position in a photometer and allow it to measure light scattered from a sample flowing through the cell. The unit 1 is made of a transparent medium such as glass or plastic in the form of a column of radius R, flattened on both sides 3 to allow a seal 4 to be held against. Throughout this specification the composition of the unit will be referred to as glass, however it may be made of any other transparent medium through which a solution flows. A polishing hole 2 passes through the center of the unit and along the diameter, the cross section of the polishing hole 2 can be circular or rectangular, usually in the range of 0.5 to 1.5mm. Two manifolds 5 hold the unit against said seal. The window 6, which is held against the seal 7 by fittings, allows the light beam to pass through. The light, typically from a laser source, is polarized pe...

Abstract

The invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for measuring the scattered light signals from a liquid sample. A sample cell for making light scattering measurements, incorporating an exterior surface acting as both a lateral and vertical lens, is described. This unique structure permits greatly improved measurement of the light scattered by molecules and particles suspended in a fluid contained therein or flowing therethrough while illuminated by a fine light beam incident thereon. The resultant lensed structure of the cell, when integrated into a scattered light photometer and combined with suitable apertures before each scattered light collecting detector, reduces significantly stray light from entering each such detector.
