Page 18: Theory Of Operation
Flowcell Optical System The optical design of the Surveyor RI Plus Detector is based on Snell’s Law of Refraction, which uses a prism flowcell. The detector has a flowcell with two compartments that (the sample and reference) form a pair of liquid prisms. - Page 19 (item 1). This image passes through the collimator lens (item 4) and slit no.2 (item 5), which project the image of slit no. 2 through the flowcell (item 6) and onto the photodiode (item 9).
