Abstract

A device for analysing a product to be analysed which is located in a product space having a probe body arranged in a probe housing and having a peripheral wall, and at least one radiation source and at least one optical receiver. At least one measurement window in the probe body has an entry region and an exit region for measurement radiation. An evaluation unit is also provided. The probe body can be brought into a measurement position, in which at least one part of the probe body in which the measurement window is located penetrates through an opening of the probe housing into the product space for the analysis. In addition, the probe body can be brought into a retracted position, in which the probe body is still located at least partially in the region of the opening of the probe housing and thus covers the opening.
