Abstract
Described herein is a receptacle for holding a sample under spectrophotometer analysis comprising: a body, first and second opposing windows separated by a gap to provide a volume for a sample, wherein at least the first opposing window is supported by a first compliant member, and wherein under a force, the first compliant member allows positioning of the first opposing window relative to a first datum to set a desired: a) gap between the first and second opposing windows, and/or b) relative orientation of the first and second opposing windows.

A receptacle for holding a sample under spectrophotometer analysis comprising:
- a body
- first and second opposing windows separated by a gap to provide a volume for a sample, wherein at least the first opposing window is supported by a first compliant member, and
- wherein under a force, the first compliant member allows positioning of the first opposing window relative to a first datum to set a desired:
- a) gap between the first and second opposing windows, and/or b) relative orientation of the first and second opposing windows.
A holder for receiving receptacle for holding a sample under spectrophotometer analysis, wherein
- the receptacle comprises:
- a body, and first and second opposing windows separated by a gap to provide a volume for a sample, wherein at least the first opposing window is supported by a first compliant member, and
- wherein the holder is operable to provide a force to the receptacle such that the first compliant member allows positioning of the first opposing window relative to a first datum to set a desired a) gap between the first and second opposing windows, and/or b) relative orientation of the first and second opposing windows.
A receptacle for holding a sample under spectrophotometer analysis comprising:
- a compliant support for first and second windows
- an opening in the support, and
- first and second windows on the support forming a volume with the opening,
- wherein under a force, the compliant support allows positioning of at least the first window relative to a first datum to set a desired a) gap between the first and second windows, and/or b) relative orientation of the first and second windows.
