WUHAN, China (May 9, 2015) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 94 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the afternoon of May 9.
The lecture introduces the basic requirements on design and construction of analytical instrument for on-site measurement of organics in samples on planets. These requirements are essential for reliable operation of instruments during launching, traveling, landing and on-site measurement. These requirements are: 1) micro-gravity condition; 2) vacuum environment; 3) severe temperature fluctuation; 4) strong cosmic radiation; 5) prolonged space traveling; 6) power consumption restriction; 7) restriction on volume; 8) restriction on mass; 9) mechanical 3D vibration and shock during launching and landing; 10) reliability requirement; 11) data suppression and transference. Difficulties on design of the instrument raised by each of these requirements will be explained in detail, and remaining problems will be discussed. A practical example will be given where an on-line gas chromatograph for measurement of trace amount of volatile organics in air within the Chinese space station will be presented. The principle and the design of fluorescence detection at bright field will also be introduced.
