II. Measurement of curvature and refractive index

Measurement of refractive index of PF-5060

For optical studies of boiling heat transfer process, it is essential that the refractive index and its dependence on temperature for the test liquid be known. In this work a simple set-up was built to measure the refractive index of Fluorinert Liquid PF-5060 with temperature compensation and temperature control. The pinhole laser light beam was used for determining the refraction angle. The re...

Refractive-index measurement of absorbing condensed media.

Gas analysis by refractive index measurement.

A B C light in a medium is difficult, it is quite easy to compare the velocity of light in one medium with the velocity of light in another. A suitable instrument for this purpose is the Rayleigh Interference Refractometer. This instrument is shown diagramatically in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a plan view showing the components as they appear from above. Figure 2 is a side view of the same ar...

Laser differential confocal lens refractive index measurement.

A new laser differential confocal lens refractive index measurement is proposed, which uses the absolute zero of the differential confocal axial intensity curve to precisely identify the positions of the objective when the measurement pencil is focused on the vertex of the test lens and the reflector with or without the test lens in the measurement light-path, and then uses aberration compensat...

Technique for Dissection and Measurement of Refractive Index of Osteones

I t is known that a continuous process takes place in bone whereby mature osteones (Haversian systems) are broken down and new osteones are formed. Historadiographic study has shown that the mineral salts content of osteones increases gradually toward a maximum (1, 2, 8). In order to obtain information on the chemical and physical properties of the growing osteone, we have developed a dissectio...
