Abstract
A sample carrier is provided for carrying a liquid sample to be measured by a spectrometer. The sample carrier includes a frame body and a mesh-like carrier body. The frame body has a notch located at the bottom of the frame body. The mesh-like carrier body is fixed to the frame body and located at the notch, the mesh-like carrier body has a plurality of apertures, and the liquid sample is retained in at least some of the apertures. Also provided is a spectrometer including the sample carrier. The sample carrier is capable of carrying the liquid sample and allows simple light path control.
Claims22
A sample carrier, suitable for carrying a liquid sample to be measured by a spectrometer, the sample carrier comprising a frame body and a mesh-like carrier body,
- wherein the frame body has a notch located at a bottom of the frame body;
- and
- the mesh-like carrier body is fixed to the frame body and located at the notch, the mesh-like carrier body has a plurality of apertures, and the liquid sample is retained in at least some of the apertures.
A spectrometer, comprising:
- a light source assembly, a transmissive sampling module, and an optical engine,
- wherein the light source assembly is configured to provide a beam, and
- the transmissive sampling module comprises a supporting base and a sample carrier,
- wherein the supporting base is disposed on a light path of the beam of the light source assembly, and
- the sampling carrier is configured to carry a liquid sample and pluggably disposed inside the supporting base, and the sample carrier comprises a frame body and a mesh-like carrier body,
- wherein the frame body has a notch located at a bottom of the frame body, and
- the mesh-like carrier body is fixed to the frame body and located at the notch, the mesh-like carrier body is located on the optical path of the beam of the light source assembly, the mesh-like carrier body has a plurality of apertures, and the liquid sample is retained in at least some of the apertures, and
- the optical engine is configured to be connected to the transmissive sampling module, wherein the beam of the light source assembly passes through the liquid sample on the mesh-like carrier body to be emitted toward the optical engine.
