1.3 Hardware Structure
Figure 1.1 shows a block diagram of the polarimeter. Light from the light source
(lamp) passes through slit S, lens L, and filter F before entering polarizer P. The light
from the light source up through filter F is natural. This natural light is linearly
polarized by polarizer P. The linearly polarized light then passes through modulator
M, the sample chamber, and analyzer A before entering the photomultiplier tube PM
for detection.
The light incident on the detector (PM) is converted into an electrical signal, then
converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter for input to the microcomputer.
The signal processed by the microcomputer is output to the iRM display as optical
rotation, specific optical rotation, concentration, sugar scale, Brix purity or optical
purity according to the set data mode.
