Three types of cell are available:
A wet cell used on the Hydro 2000G/S/SM/MU, detailed later in this chapter.
A specialised wet cell (the “micro cell”) used on the Hydro 2000µP, detailed in
its manual.
A dry measurement cell used on the Scirocco 2000/2000M, detailed in their
manuals.
Power indicator
This indicator illuminates when the optical bench is turned on.
End panel
The end panel contains all communication connectors for the optical bench. It is
detailed below.
Cell holder
The cell holder is a “parking” area for the cell when it is not in use. This is supplied
when more than one dispersion unit is used on the system. It allows the cell to be
removed and stored without the need to disconnect it from the dispersion unit.
Window tool
The window tool is used to remove the windows from the cell if they need clean-
ing or replacing (see the Essentials Manual).
Backscatter detectors
These are two detectors that collect some of the light scattering information from
the sample. Ensure that these are kept clean and undamaged; the Essentials Man-
ual has details.
