Source lamp positioning apparatus

摘要

Apparatus for clampingly supporting a source lamp in an optical, analytical instrument. The apparatus includes a heat distributing, metal corset encircling the lamp and a clamp member. The clamp is adjustably mounted in the instrument by a mechanism which permits rotational adjustment of the clamp about an axis perpendicular to the optical axis of the instrument and translational adjustment of the clamp along the same axis. The lamp is supported in the clamp in a stable configuration regardless of irregularities in its glass envelope.
