Abstract: A measuring cell for a measuring apparatus for optically measuring a parameter of a medium comprises two half-shells and at least one window. The half-shells each have a recess on their mutually facing inner sides, each of which forms one half of a channel running through the measuring cell. The half-shells are connected to one another by two joints arranged on opposite sides of the channel and directly adjacent to the channel over the entire length of the channel. Each window is either formed by a transparent region of one of the half-shells adjacent to the measuring portion of the channel or is enclosed in one of the half-shells without any gap, with or without the interposition of a seal, in such a way that it seals with the front flush on an inner surface of the corresponding half-shell adjacent to the measuring portion of the channel.
