Three rows need a readable sample map

The reference shows upper, middle and lower elongated routes. Row labels can follow each route from its connection, through the observation region and out to the other side. This is a useful starting point for a proposed multi-position or multi-sample observation arrangement.

The three-route geometry does not prescribe how the samples are used. It describes the layout; tested isolation, a particular comparison method or simultaneous measurements are separate claims. The practical design task is to make the intended route and viewing position unambiguous for each row.

MQQFC006 configuration

A shallow channel within a larger plate

Each labelled channel is 28 × 4 × 0.2 mm. The outside body is 42 × 31.5 × 4.2 mm, excluding the projecting tubes. The shallow sample dimension, long observation region and plate envelope therefore serve different jobs.

An observation system may address one row at a time or use a wider field in a proposed setup. The holder should be described around that choice. Plate edges can provide support, while the required rows remain visible through the optical faces.

Six connections belong in the bench layout

The tubes are listed as 1.6 mm outside and 1.3 mm inside diameter. The outside size relates to mating connections; the bore describes the passage. Attached connectors and line bends occupy space on both sides of the plate.

A useful route map keeps the row names on those external lines. It also describes loading and flushing for the proposed use, so exchanging a sample in one route is not confused with merely changing a line at the plate edge. This is where the multi-row form becomes an operating layout rather than just a compact object.

A custom example: match the rows to an observation system

ILLUSTRATIVE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Suppose an imaging fixture addresses three positions at a different spacing from the reference. A proposed plate can retain the shallow path and define each row from the fixture's observation positions. The six connection approaches are then arranged around those rows, rather than added after the optical layout is fixed.
