Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provided an absorbance measuring unit for a microchip reduced in measurement errors, even if the absorbance of the microchip is measured, using a discharge lamp in a measuring light source. SOLUTION: The absorbance measuring unit using the microchip is composed of an absorbance measuring part, which comprises two bonded plate members, having cavity parts provided to the their bonded surfaces and is constituted so that the cavity parts are allowed to communicate with each other to linearly arrange an analyzing liquid inlet part, a bonded surfaces sump part and a reagent mixing part along one end surfaces of the plate members, the microchip equipped with the absorbance measuring part and a chip holder for incorporating the microchip. A light-introducing capillary part for making an optical axis coincide with that of the absorbance measuring part and having an opening diameter narrower than the cross-sectional diameter vertical to the optical axis of the absorbance measuring part is formed to the chip holder.

Abstract:
A spectroscopic assembly (165) may include a spectrometer (110). The spectrometer may include an illumination source to generate a light to illuminate a sample. The spectrometer may include a sensor to obtain a spectroscopic measurement based on light, reflected by the sample, from the light illuminating the sample. The spectroscopic assembly may include a light pipe (120) to transfer the light reflected from the sample. The light pipe may include a first opening (146) to receive the spectrometer. The light pipe may include a second opening (148) to receive the sample, such that the sample is enclosed by the light pipe and a base surface when the sample is received at the second opening. The light pipe may be associated with aligning the illumination source and the sensor with the sample.
Abstract:
A unit for measurement of absorbance using a microchip has a microchip with a continuous cavity, a sample chamber, a reagent chamber, a reagent mixing chamber and a chamber for measuring absorbance, which is arranged in a straight line in the area of the continuous cavity. The microchip is located in a chip holder which has a capillary part which is arranged such that the light used to measure absorbance is delivered through the capillary part to the chamber for measuring absorbance, the capillary part having a smaller opening diameter than the diameter of the cross section which is perpendicular to the optical axis of the chamber for measuring absorbance.
Abstract:
Spektroskopisches System für die Analyse von kleinen und kleinsten Substanzmengen verwenden zur Energieübertragung kegelförmige Aperturwandler (14, 15), die im Objektraum (8) zwischen der Lichtquelle (L) und der Probe (9), und bei Absorptionsmessungen auch zwischen der Probe (9) und dem Eintrittsspalt (3) eines Spektrometers (1) angeordnet sind. Bei einer Ausbildung als Doppelkegel erlauben die Aperturwandler (14, 15) eine Schrägankopplung in ein die Probe (9) aufnehmendes Kapillarrohr, das als Stufen-Wellenleiter für die eingekoppelte Strahlung wirkt.
Abstract:
A spectroscopic system for the analysis of small and very small quantities of substances makes use for the purposes of energy transfer of cone-shaped aperture changers (14, 15) which are arranged in the object zone (8) between the light source (L) and the sample (9) and, during absorption measurements, also between the sample (9) and the inlet slot (3) of a spectrometer (1). If the form used is a double cone, the aperture changers (14, 15) facilitate an oblique coupling in a capillary tube accepting the sample (9) which acts as a step-waveguide for the coupled radiation.
