Introduction
Basics of SPECORD alignment
The optical fibers of the measuring probe or the cables of the Peltier temperature-
controlled cell holder or the cell changer are threaded through the recess in the rear wall
of the sample compartment (5).
The three ducts (6,11) in the right-hand sample compartment wall are used for threading
through the sample drain tube and the coolant tubes for the thermostat.
The ducts in the front side of the device cover (12) are provided for threading through the
aspirating tubes of the sipper system.
1.3.2 Adjustment of zeroth order
In zeroth order adjustment, white, undispersed light passes through the sample
compartment. This high-intensity beam is particularly suitable for the alignment of
accessories.
