3.5.3 Use of the light shield for measurements

The light shield (Figure 6 on page 17) prevents light interference when using 13 mm and 16 mm vial tests and must be in place before measurements can be taken in cell compartment #1. The light shield is required only when using 13 mm or 16 mm vial tests.
