る。(Prior art) When a sample solution is brought into contact with a solid surface and light is incident on the interface between the two to cause total reflection, part of the energy of the incident light oozes out across the boundary, and the total reflected light is The light attenuates somewhat, and the spectrum of the attenuation is unique to the sample, so this can be used to analyze the sample. This is the total reflection absorption spectroscopy, and an apparatus as shown in FIG. 3 has been proposed as an apparatus for carrying out this analytical method. The figure shows the sample cell part of an infrared ATR device. 1 is a total reflector, which is a round rod made of germanium or other transparent material with a high refractive index in the infrared region, and has conical ends. . 2

ている。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional sample cell for ATR spectroscopy described above, the rod-shaped total reflector is surrounded by an outer cylinder, and the sample solution is passed between the total reflector and the outer cylinder. The volume of the cell should be as small as possible (approximately 15μe even if made.If we consider the case where such a cell is used for continuous analysis of liquid chromatograph effluent,
Since the carrier flow rate of a liquid chromatograph is about 1 m e /min, it takes about 1 second to completely replace the solution in the cell. That is, in this case, the time resolution of analysis is about 1 second. On the other hand, when a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer is used as a spectroscopic means, the time resolution is about 0.2 seconds, so the above-mentioned conventional method is not suitable for a device combining a liquid chromatograph and a Fourier transform spectrophotometer. The time resolution when using a flow cell for ATR spectroscopy is insufficient.

The material of the total reflector 1 is a material that is transparent and has a high refractive index in the infrared region, such as Ge, and the inner surface of the center hole is finished with a smooth finish to the extent that it becomes a smooth reflective surface for infrared light. . A sample solution flow tube 3 is connected to each opening at both ends of the center hole 1a. Reference numeral 4 designates presser fittings for fixing the connecting portions of the above-mentioned flow pipe to both ends of the center hole 1a. The light for measurement is made to enter the total reflector 1 perpendicularly to the conical surface at one end of the total reflector 1 as shown by the arrow in the figure, and is repeatedly reflected within the total reflector between the outer peripheral surface and the inner surface of the center hole. The light is emitted from the conical surface at the other end.

スペクトルのインターフェログラムである。FIG. 2 shows the entire analyzer in which the sample cell described above is set. C is the sample cell mentioned above, and the chain line is the center line of the center hole 1a. Reference numeral 5 denotes a Cassegrain reflecting mirror consisting of a concave primary mirror 5a with a hole in the center and an auxiliary convex mirror 5b facing it. The emitted light from the spectrometer M is perpendicular to the paper plane of the figure, is reflected downward in the figure by mirror 6, and mirrors 7a, 7b, 7
The light reflected by the main mirror 5a is reflected by the primary mirror 5a, and is incident on the conical surface of one end of the total reflector 1 of the sample cell. It is made to be incident. The above optical system uses the optical system of an infrared spectroscopic microscope, and the sample cell C is attached to the sample stage 8 of the microscope. There is a transparent body 10 between the mirrors 7b and 70 for moving the light beam, and by changing the inclination of this body, the light converging position of the Cassegrain primary mirror 5a moves, and the reflected light from the primary mirror is directed to the total reflector of the sample cell. The beam is adjusted so that it is incident on the conical surface at one end of 1 in an axially symmetrical manner. The apex angle of the conical surface of the end face of the total reflector 1 is matched to the condensing angle of the reflected light from the Cassegrain primary mirror 1a, and the light is incident perpendicularly to the end face of the total reflector 1, minimizing reflection loss of light. That's how it is. The light emitted from the other end of the total reflector 1 is assisted by traveling backwards through the Cassegrain reflector 5, which has the same configuration as 5! 15b', the light beam becomes a narrow beam and is made incident on the photodetector 9. A Fourier transform infrared spectrometer is used as the spectrometer M. The temporal record of the output of the photodetector 9 during one scan period of the spectrometer is an interferogram of the total internal reflection absorption spectrum of the sample solution.

る。When the total reflector l has a length of 5 mm and a center hole diameter of 1 mm, the center hole volume is about 4 μe. Therefore, the flow rate of the sample solution is 1ml! /minute, the time resolution is 0.25 seconds. If the center hole diameter is 0.7 mm, the time resolution is approximately 0.
．． It will be 12 seconds. The sample cell of the present invention can be used not only as a flow cell as described above (it goes without saying that it can also be used as a simple sample cell, but in this case, plugs can be placed at both ends to hold the sample in the center hole). In the case of a solution with a relatively large surface tension, the sample liquid can be held in the center hole by the surface tension even without a frame.

It is easy to use, and the length is only about a few mm, so the volume is extremely small (it is possible to analyze very small amounts of samples, and it is also possible to improve the temporal resolution of changes in circulating samples over time).
