Abstract

L'invention concerne une cellule optique destinée à loger un échantillon lors de la mesure de la concentration de l'échantillon par absorptiométrie, et qui peut présenter une maniabilité et une précision de mesure améliorées par comparaison avec des produits classiques.　Une cellule optique 2 est destinée à loger l'échantillon et est utilisée dans un dispositif de mesure de concentration pour mesurer la concentration de l'échantillon par absorptiométrie. La cellule optique comprend : une partie logement 21 présentant la direction plus longue et la direction plus courte dans une section transversale horizontale correspondante ; et une partie en saillie 24 s'étendant vers l'extérieur le long de la direction plus courte à partir d'une surface latérale le long de la direction plus longue de la partie logement 21.
