[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an adjusting mechanism 3, the adjusting mechanism 3 is located between the sample cell 34 and the bottom plate 6 and is used to adjust the height between the sample cell 34 and the bottom plate 6. The adjusting mechanism 3 includes a threaded mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The threaded mechanism is located between the sample cell 34 and the bottom plate 6 and is used to drive the sample cell 34 to move.
