The invention relates to refractometry and attenuated reflectance spectrometry in a wellbore environment. Specifically, it pertains to a robust apparatus and method for measuring refractive index of fluids along a continuum (rather than in steps), and for measuring attenuated reflectance spectra, and for interpreting the measurements made with this apparatus to determine a variety of formation fluid parameters. The present invention provides a method and apparatus to distinguish between gas and liquid based on the much lower index of refraction of gas. It can also be used to monitor fluid sample clean up over time. The refractive index of a wellbore fluid is determined from the fraction, R, of light reflected off the interface between a transparent window that has a known refractive index and this fluid. Preferably, the refractive index is measured at some wavelength of light for which the fluid is not highly attenuating but is optimally attenuating. The adjacent transmission spectrometer can be used to correct the refractive index measurement for attenuation at those wavelengths, which it monitors. Also, this reflection-based refractometer design can be used as an attenuated reflectance spectrometer at highly attenuating wavelengths.

A mid-IR spectrometer attachment performs reflection spectroscopy measurements using commercially available infinity corrected light microscopes without degrading the microscope's performance. The mid-IR spectrometer attachment, which is mounted to and supported by the visible light microscope, introduces infrared radiation into the optical path of the microscope. Radiation from the mid-IR spectrometer source is directed by a trichroic radiation director to a mid-IR objective lens affixed to the microscope nosepiece. The objective lens focuses the radiation on to a subject sample surface in order to acquire either internally or externally reflected infrared spectra by subsequently directing the sample encoded reflected mid-infrared radiation to the radiation director and then to a mid-infrared radiation detection system. The trichroic radiation director can reflect mid-IR, act as a beam splitter for near-IR and transmit visible light to allow the area of mid-IR spectroscopic analysis to be viewed in either visible light or near-IR.
