The power of the refractometer sent to the integrator through this gate is integrated using the average value of the far point in several step responses measured in advance as the base, but the effect of the front part (F) is also taken into account. In order to do this, it is necessary to compare the immediately preceding far point and the average far point at the reference time, and if the immediately preceding far point is closer to the subject, the base of the integral must be changed. The comparator in Figure 1 is for performing the above comparison, controlling the DC power supply based on the result, and adding a voltage corresponding to changing the base of the integral to the output of the refractometer. .
