Abstract
A probe for liquid sample analysis is disclosed which causes radiation to pass through the sample at a gap formed in the probe housing. A single radiation transmission is used to avoid problems of radiation back scatter and sample reliability. Windows are provided on opposite sand and and and and and and ides of the gap to accommodate the shape of the beam in the gap, which may either be collimated, or focused in the gap. A retroreflector may be used to reverse the radiation direction in the probe. The light to and from the probe is preferably transmitted by optical fiber cables. Within the probe, light guides other than optical fibers may be used.
