ETECTION
The RI2012 refractive index detector acts as a differential refractometer which measures the
deflection of a light beam as a result of different refractive indices of solutions in the
reference and the sample chamber of the flow cell.
The beam of a tungsten lamp passes a convex lens and two slip apertures (called slit 1 and
slit 2) before reaching a second convex lens. After this the light passes the flow cell which is
diagonally separated into two chambers (sample and reference chamber). Behind the flow
cell a mirror is placed which reflects the beam through the flow cell, the second convex lens
and the second slit aperture (slit 2) toward a light sensor.
The light sensor is placed under the light source and consists of two photo diodes. The both
diodes generate a current which is proportional to the light
intensity reaching the sensor’s
surface.
