The same principle underlies the “flow cell” method recommended for colored solutions and liquids, e.g., see Woodruff W. H. and Spiro T. G. , Appl. Spectrosc. 28, 576 (1974).

The diameter of the point focused beam is given by the formula (see Ref. 2) 2r = 4λ f/πd where λ and d are the wavelength and the diameter of the nonfocused laser beam, f is the focal length of the focusing length. Thus, for λ = 488.0 nm, f = 20 cm and d = 0.3 cm, the focused beam diameter 2r ∼ 41 μ.
