Abstract
A detector for an analytical device for analyzing a fluidic sample includes a housing, a lamp seat arranged in the housing and configured to receive a lamp for generating an electromagnetic radiation, and a movement mechanism to swivel the lamp seat with respect to the housing, and/or move the lamp seat between an operating orientation and a service orientation, so that the movement from the service orientation to the operating orientation results automatically in an electric contact and/or a mechanical positioning, in particular alignment, of the lamp.

A detector for an analytical device, the detector comprising:
- a housing;
- a lamp seat arranged in the housing and configured to receive a lamp for generating an electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- a movement mechanism configured to swivel the lamp seat with respect to the housing.
A detector for an analytical device, the detector comprising:
- a housing;
- a lamp seat arranged in the housing and configured to receive a lamp for generating an electromagnetic signal;
- and
- a movement mechanism configured to move the lamp seat between an operating orientation and a service orientation, so that the movement from the service orientation to the operating orientation results automatically in an electric contact and/or a mechanical positioning of the lamp.
A method for changing a lamp of a detector of an analytical device, the method comprising:
- moving a lamp seat with respect to a housing of the detector between an operating orientation and a service orientation;
- inserting the lamp in the lamp seat and/or removing the lamp from the lamp seat in the service orientation;
- and
- electrically connecting the lamp in the operating orientation,
- wherein moving comprises at least one of the following features:
- wherein moving comprises a swiveling;
- and/or
- wherein moving between the service orientation and the operating orientation results automatically in an electric contact and/or a mechanical positioning of the lamp.
