monochromator device for separation of a narrow band of light
wavelengths from a broader range of
wavelengths
multilabel reader entity that enables measuring different
applications
multilabel test plate a special microplate for the user to test the
operation of the instrument. It has samples
suitable for testing the operation of optical
components for various labels
output tube tube between the syringe and a tip in the tip
mount. Part of the dispenser. Liquid is
dispensed through this tube
photodiode height
changer
a movement motor to ensure that the
photodiode's position is optimal with regard to
the plate in photometric measurements
photometric cable optical fiber to guide the light from the light
director assembly directly to the photometric
optics
photometric detector part located above the sample; for signal
measurement it contains a photodiode and a
movement motor to ensure that the
photodiode's position is optimal from the plate
in photometric measurements
Note! The photometric detector is mounted in
the mirror module.
photometric optics assembly to reconstruct the emission light
from the light cable into a beam that passes
through the sample well bottom
Note! The photometric optics is embedded in
the bottom measuring head body and it also
contains a 2nd feed mirror and reference
photodiodes
plate carrier mechanical part on which the sample is
conveyed in the instrument
plate cooler device employing Peltier elements to maintain
the temperature of a plate in the instrument at
the temperature it had when loaded. Used in
the AlphaScreen option. Also called Cold
plate unit
