Explanation:
J’ai l’impression que c’est un élément qui est aussi appelé « a nozzle », mais sans plus de contexte (schéma), il est difficile d’être sur. Ca pourrait se traduire par une buse ou un collimateur, dépendant de l’utilisation.
J’espère avoir été d’une quelconque utilité….

Notes to answerer
Asker: Bonjour, Merci, je ne suis toujours pas sure de la réponse, mais j'aurais du préciser également qu'il s'agit d'un composant optique pour un shéma de détecteur évaporatif à diffusion de lumière (système pour détection en chromatographie). Encore merci, Annabelle
