Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to a housing with a curved surface. In examples, the housing may receive a light source and a detector to detect a droplet passing through a light path between the detector and the light source. The housing may have a curved surface to align the detector and the light source within the housing.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a housing to receive a light source and a detector to detect a droplet passing through a light path between the detector and the light source;
- and
- a curved surface of the housing to align the detector and the light source within the housing.
A device, comprising:
- an ejector to eject a droplet towards a substrate;
- a light source;
- a photo-detector to detect a shadow formed by the droplet passing through a light path between the detector and the light source;
- and
- a curved surface to guide the light source and the photo-detector into alignment.
