摘要: The present invention is made focusing on the viscoelasticity of a sample, which is completely different from a conventional idea, and provides an optical analysis cell 100 that in order to easily make the thickness of the sample X uniform as well as making a pair of light transmitting plates 10 parallel to each other without the use of any spacer, includes the pair of light transmitting plates 10 that sandwich and hold the sample X having predetermined viscoelasticity between mutually opposed inward surfaces 10a. In addition, the optical analysis cell 100 further includes a distance fixing member 20 having a pair of opposed surfaces 21a and 22a provided separately from each other by a predetermined distance. Also, it is configured that the respective light transmitting plates 10 receive the elastic force of the sample X, and thereby outward surfaces 10b on the sides opposite to the inward surfaces 10a of the respective light transmitting plates 10 are pressed against corresponding respective opposed surfaces 21a and 22a to fix the separation distance between the inward surfaces 10a.

摘要: The present invention is one that makes it possible to facilitate the assembly of an optical measurement cell, as well as shorten optical path length without taking account of handling of a spacer, and an optical measurement cell 2 including a pair of light transmitting plates 21 and 22 respectively having opposite surfaces 21a and 22a facing each other and containing test liquid X between the pair of opposite surfaces 21a and 22a of the pair of light transmitting plates 21 and 22. In addition, one 21a of the opposite surfaces 21a and 22a is formed with a spacer film 25 that contacts with the other opposite surface 22a to define the distance between the pair of opposite surfaces 21a and 22a.

摘要: The particle size distribution measuring apparatus includes a centrifugal sedimentation measuring mechanism and a dynamic light scattering measuring mechanism. The centrifugal sedimentation measuring mechanism causes particles to settle out by rotating a measurement cell accommodating particles dispersed in a dispersion medium and detects transmitted light by irradiating light to the measurement cell to measure a first particle size distribution on a basis of a change of transmitted light intensity of the transmitted light. The dynamic light scattering measuring mechanism detects scattered light occurred upon irradiation of light to particles so as to measure a second particle size distribution based on a change of scattered light intensity of the scattered light occurred due to Brownian motion of particles. After the centrifugal sedimentation measuring mechanism detects the transmitted light, the dynamic light scattering measuring mechanism measures the second particle size distribution by irradiating light onto the measurement cell.

摘要: The present invention is a sample analyzer 100 that makes it possible to accurately analyze a sample even when the sample is such as one in a state where particles are cross-linked, or one containing foreign bodies and that calculates an autocorrelation function from a detection signal obtained by irradiating a sample with inspection light L1, and from the autocorrelation function, analyzes the sample. In addition, the sample analyzer 100 includes: an autocorrelation function determination part 53 that determines whether or not the displacement amount of an autocorrelation function serving as a comparison target from an autocorrelation function serving as a reference is within a predetermined range; and a sample analysis part 54 that analyzes the sample with use of an autocorrelation function of which the displacement amount is determined by the autocorrelation function determination part 53 to be within the predetermined range.

摘要: Provided is a dynamic light scattering type particle size distribution measuring apparatus 100 capable of accurately measure the particle sizes of a sample obtained from slurry or the like. The dynamic light scattering type particle size distribution measuring apparatus 100 is configured to include: a filter member 6 that is interposed between any adjacent two of a light source 4, a cell 2, and a photodetector 5 and attenuates light passing therethrough; and an information processing device 8 that measures a particle size distribution multiple times with time and combines particle size distributions obtained at respective times of measurement to thereby calculate the particle size distribution of the whole of portions of the sample introduced at the respective times of measurement. In addition, the filter member 6 is also configured to be changeable to one having a different attenuation level at every time of measurement.
