  • Page 11 1 Optical System 1 Optical System The deflection type refractive index detector, the Shodex RI-501EX, has a newly developed three-chamber type flow cell, consisting of a single sample cell chamber and two reference cell chambers as shown in Fig. 4.1.
  • Page 12 When a difference develops in the refractive index between the sample and the Reference in the flow cell, the image on the photo sensor moves horizontally as illustrated in Fig. 4.3 below ( moves from (a) to (b) ). The electric signals emitted respectively from the photo sensor change in proportion to the extent of movement of the image.
  • Page 13 3 Electric Circuit 3 Electric Circuit 3 Electric Circuit The electrical circuit of Shodex RI-501EX consists of two I/V converters, a signal processing circuit (with display and keyboard), a temperature control circuit and a light intensity control circuit. The temperature control circuit and light intensity control circuit are controlled by the signal processing circuit.
  • Page 14 Two photo sensing elements generate a photocurrent proportional to the amount of light. These currents are then converted to the voltage signal in the I/V converters. These voltage signals will then be sent to the signal processing circuit where their Balance will be precisely converted into the digital signal corresponding to the refractive index.
