z Brix & Refractive Index Scales

The VEE GEE Model C10 Abbe Refractometer is an excellent instrument for the
Refractive Index (nD) analysis of liquids, glass, plastic, & film.

Easy to Use.

Operation consists of placing a sample on the prism; while looking
through the eyepiece, the control knob is turned until the shadowline is centered in
the crosshairs (see image below left); the reading is taken where the vertical line
crosses the scale. Calibrates with water.

Industrial Features. Oversized, easy-to-read scale; Refractive Index (nD) & Brix

scales; primary & secondar y prisms; color compensator dial; large measurement
dial; focusable eyepiece.

Ordering Information

Prism Temperature Control. Featuring 2 circulator nozzles for the primar y prism

and 2 for the secondar

y prism, Model AR10 can be connected to a circulating bath to
accurately regulate prism temperature. The prism temperature is displayed on the
external glass thermometer. The effective temperature range is 0-70°.

Film Testing. Transparent or translucent film samples can be measured with the use

of a glass standard (aids in the illumination of the sample), contact liquid (adheres the
sample to the glass standard and to the primar y prism), and an external sodium light
source (sold separately).

Note: The refractive index (nD) value of the sample must be lower than that of the contact liquid and the glass standard. The
included bromonaphthalene contact liquid has a refractive index (nD) value of 1.6300. The included glass standard has
a refractive index value (nD) of 1.5163.

Glass & Plastic Testing. Transparent or translucent glass and plastic samples can be

measured with the use of a contact liquid (adheres the sample to the primar y prism), and
an external sodium light source (sold separately).

Note: The refractive index (nD) of the sample must be lower than that of the contact liquid. The included bromonaphthalene
contact liquid has a refractive index (nD) value of 1.6300.
