| 1. A refractometer comprising:
spectroscopic cell including a container adapted to hold a photocurable mixture;
a prismatic means having an interface surface disposed adjacent an optical window disposed in the container;
a measurement light source adapted to emit a measurement light beam, the measurement light beam illuminating the interface
surface at selectable incidence angles so as to reflect a portion of the measurement light beam as an internally reflected
light beam;
a light detection means disposed so as to receive the internally reflected light beam; and
a photonic curing means adapted to selectively emit a curing light beam and disposed so as to irradiate the photocurable mixture
with the curing light beam.
