Standard Liquid Cuvette

The standard cuvette allows you to study liquids in test tubes. Typical volumes required for the test tube are about 1.5 ml. The standard cuvette includes a cover to protect the user from the laser beam. The standard cuvette also works with dissolved salts provided that they have a large enough concentration.

Step 1: Assemble the optical barrel

Glue the AC127-019-A achromat lens and the LK1085L1-A cylindrical lens into the barrel element using epoxy glue. Pay attention that both of the lenses are well inserted and flat in place as any misalignement will impact light collection.

Step 2: Fix the rods

Mount the two ER1 rods such that they are flush with the CP33/M mount. Then, place two drops of epoxy glue in the rods hole and insert the rods/CP33 assembly using the spacer block to provide the correct entry depth.

Step 3: Add cover

Add the cover and secure it with the axis. Eventually add a drop of axis locker glue such as Loctite 638. Wipe off the excess glue.

Step 4: Add the optical barrel

Add the optical barrel in place and secure it with a DIN914 set screw. Align the two holes of the barrel such that they are vertical relative to the cuvette holder body.
