Immersion refractometer

Japanese: 液浸屈折計 - えきしんくっせつけい
Immersion refractometer

… The critical angle method measures the critical angle of total internal reflection to determine the refractive index of transparent or absorbing solids (including crystals) and liquids. Figure 2 shows an immersion refractometer, which is one of the critical angle methods, in which a 30° prism is immersed in the liquid to be measured, which has a refractive index n 2 smaller than the refractive index n 1 of the prism. When a reflecting mirror is used to illuminate the inclined surface of the prism as shown in the figure, the light is refracted inside the prism in directions where the angle α is greater than the critical angle of total internal reflection, i.e., α = sin -1 ( n 2 / n 1 ), and a part of the field of view is observed as dark through a telescope, which is a combination of an objective lens and an eyepiece. …

… 臨界角法は全反射の臨界角を測定して透明または吸収性固体(結晶を含む)および液体の屈折率を求めるものである。図2は臨界角法の一つである液浸屈折計を示したもので,30゜プリズムの部分をその屈折率n1よりも小さな屈折率n2をもつ被測定液体中に浸ける。反射鏡を用いプリズムの斜面を図のように照明すると,角αが全反射の臨界角,すなわちα=sin-1(n2/n1)より大きな方向にはプリズム内に光が屈折して進まず,対物レンズ,接眼レンズの組合せである望遠鏡によって視野の一部分が暗く観測される。…
