Resolution and accuracy
► A highly viscous solution could show a different refractive
index on the surface as on the bottom. The solutions should
always be well stirred and mixed.
► The solution must cover the larger part of the measuring
prism otherwise no clear light/dark division can be obtained.
This can, in particular, happen by quickly evaporating liquids
that remain a longer time between the measuring and the
illuminating prisms.
► To have optimal adhesion of the samples the prism must
always be kept clean.
► The instrument must not come in contact with dust, gases,
direct sunlight or dampness. It must always be used in an
horizontal position otherwise incorrect values will be mea-
sured.
