摘要 |
The invention relates to a transmission spectrometer for analysing a liquid sample with regard to a medically significant component, in particular a bodily fluid, preferably in the middle infrared spectral range MIR. Said spectrometer comprises: a cell (3) with opposing transparent walls (4, 5) for holding the sample; a light source (2) for emitting radiation, which passes through the opposing walls (4, 5) of the cell (3) and is partially absorbed by the sample; a plurality of filters (8a-8p) that are arranged on one of the walls (5) of the cell (3) and that are respectively permeable to a wavelength range, in which the medically significant component of the sample causes absorption maxima; a plurality of detectors (9a-9p), which are respectively associated with one of the filters (8a-8p), for detecting the intensity of the radiation that passes through the cell (3) and the respective filter (8a-8p); and an evaluation unit (10), which is connected to the detectors (9a-9p) and determines an analytical result from signals that are generated by the detectors (9a-9p) in accordance with the detected intensity. According to the invention, one of the opposing walls (5) of the cell (3) supports the detectors (9a-9p). |
