Green Laser 100.662(±0.249)nm 88.514(±0.342)nm 100.668(±0.350)nm

For the colored sample, to avoid large deviations in the particle size measurement, users should select a suitable light source. Analyzing the UV-Vis absorption spectrum is a useful aid for the selection of light source. If limited by the spectrum analyzer, the operator can simply switch the laser source between the blue light and green light, based on the concept that the color with a longer wavelength is prone to absorb the light with a shorter wavelength. In general, the blue laser is recommended for samples in red, orange and yellow colors, and the green laser is recommended for samples in green, blue and purple colors.

Refractive Index
1. Temperature correction of refractive index
Generally speaking, for each degree Celsius of temperature increase, the refractive index of liquid organic compounds decreases by 3.5 × 10-4 - 5.5 × 10-4. For some liquids, especially when the temperature of refractive index is close to its boiling point, the temperature coefficient can reach 7 × 10-4. In practice, the refractive index measured at one temperature is often converted into the refractive index at another temperature. In order to facilitate the calculation, 4.5 × 10-4 is generally regarded as the temperature change constant. There might be a slight error in the rough calculation, but it has reference value. In other words, the refractive index decreases with an increase in temperature, and the refractive index changes by about 0.00045 for each degree Celsius temperature change. Correct the reading for refractive index at 20°C using the following formula:
nD(t) = nD(20) - 0.00045(t-20°C)
nD(t) is the refractive index measured experimentally at temperature t. This shows that, when the experimental temperature is higher than 20°C, nD(20) is larger than nD(t), while, when the experimental temperature is lower than 20°C, nD(20) is smaller than nD(t).
For example, nD(t) =1.3667, t=25.2°C, calculate nD(20)
nD(t)=nD(20) - 0.00045(t-20°C)
nD(20)=1.3667+0.00045(25.2°C -20°C)
=1.3667+0.00045 × 5.2
=1.36904
2. Factors affecting refractive index
2.1  Wavelength of Light   
The refractive index of materials varies with the wavelength of light. The greater the wavelength, the lesser the refractive index. When measuring, white light is usually applied. When the white light refracts through the prism and sample solution, due to the different wavelength and degree of refraction of each color light, it decomposes into a variety of color light after refraction, which is called “dispersion.” The dispersion of light will make the boundary between the light and shade of the field of vision unclear, resulting in measurement errors. In order to eliminate dispersion, a dispersion compensator is installed at the bottom of the Abbe refractometer observation tube.
2.2 Temperature
The refractive index of a liquid is dependent on the temperature. As the temperature increases, the refractive index decreases, and vice versa. The scale on the refractometer is engraved at the standard temperature of 20°C, so it is better to measure the refractive index at 20°C. Otherwise, the temperature correction factor should be applied. When the temperature is over 20°C, add the correction factors, and, when the temperature is below 20°C, subtract the correction factors.

Tips:
Operating environment: 5-35°C (temperature), <85% ( relative humidity)
The equipment is recommended to be placed in a clean, dry and constant temperature room.
In the moisture environment, the signal may be dysfunctional because water condensation will affect the laser light path. Please keep in the dry environment for measurement.
