ABSTRACT:
A refractometer, comprising a light source arranged in a frame structure, an optical window to be positioned in a process solution, means for directing a beam of rays from the light source to an interface between the optical window and the process solution, part of the beam of rays being absorbed partly into the solution and part of it being reflected back from the solution entirely and creating an image, in which the location of a borderline between a light area and a dark area depends on the refractive index of the process solution, and an image detector, by means of which the image created in said manner is observed. To eliminate changing angles of the optical window, the light source, the optical window, the means for directing the beam of rays and the image detector are arranged in a rigid analyser module, which is positioned floatingly inside the frame structure to support on a substantially inelastic sealing arranged between the frame structure and the optical window by pressing the analyser module by spring means against the sealing.
