Yes, there is probably an error in your manual. Our manual is an
early version (May 1988) but in ours, the figure 2-11 "Stream
interrogation and separation chamber" is definitely *wrong*. Two
pages over, the figure 2.14 "Sample collection box" shows the
deflection plates with long sides upward. This is *correct*.
