ABSTRACT:
A coupling mechanism for mounting a sample accessory assembly into a spectrometer. The accessory assembly, on which is mountable a sample to be analyzed by a spectrometer, has connecter ends which are insertable into stirrups on the sample compartment of the spectrometer. The connector ends and the stirrups have elements that ensure that the accessory assembly is properly aligned in the sample compartment of the spectrometer. The accessory assembly also has an electronic component, such as a circuit or programmable microchip, that is connected to the spectrometer when the accessory is mounted in the spectrometer. The electronic component provides information to the spectrometer identifying the accessory assembly being used so that a diagnostic test of the spectrometer can be performed to ascertain, for example, proper mounting of the accessory assembly in the spectrometer.
