DESCRIPTION
5.5. OPTICAL SYSTEM
Instrument Block Diagram
The internal reference system (reference detector) of the HI97771 photometer
compensates for any drifts due to power fluctuations or ambient temperature changes,
providing a stable source of light for your blank (zero) measurement and sample
measurement.
LED light sources offer superior performance compared to tungsten lamps. LEDs have
a much higher luminous efficiency, providing more light while using less power. They
also produce little heat, which could otherwise affect electronic stability. LEDs are
available in a wide array of wavelengths, whereas tungsten lamps have poor blue/
violet light output.
Improved optical filters ensure greater wavelength accuracy and allow a brighter,
stronger signal to be received. The end result is higher measurement stability and less
wavelength error.
A focusing lens collects all of the light that exits the cuvette, eliminating errors from
cuvette imperfections and scratches, eliminating the need to index the cuvette.
