Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system for process-integrated optical analysis of flowable media, comprising a processing system for processing a flowable medium and an analytical system for analysis of the flowable medium, wherein the analytical system includes an optical measuring head, for irradiation of the medium and for receiving measuring radiation, and a reference unit. The processing system includes a measuring region, into which the medium can be introduced during the processing and which is accessible for measurement by means of the measuring head. According to the invention, a mechanism for achieving defined positions of the measuring head relative to the measuring region and/or relative to a reference unit is included, which selectively enables a measurement of the medium located in the measuring region or of the reference unit.
