โฆ Synopsis
For measurements of the refractive index increment of polymer solutions, with a standard Jena interference refractometer, certain modifications of the measuring cell have been proposed.
At room temperature, a simple closure for the cell protects the solutions from evaporation, contamination or losses due to capillarity. For a wider range of temperatures (20ยฐ-120ยฐ), a new measuring cell with an adequate thermostat device has been suggested. THE RAYLEIGH interference refractometer is one of the instruments frequently utilized for determination of small differences of refractive indices or, more specifically, of the ratio dn/dc in the case of polymer solutions.

The refractive index increment of a protein solution is a property not only of the protein, but also of the solvent. This is demonstrated theoretically and confirmed experimentally using analytical interferometry.
