The Refractor™ Reactor is a valuable tool for grazing angle FT-IR studies of reactions on metal surfaces and on thin films on metal substrates. Samples can be heated to 500°C and pressurized up to 203 kPa (2 ATM). The Refractor™ Reactor incorporates two wedged windows to refract the beam to and from the sample. This unique design results in a compact reaction chamber and avoids the energy losses associated with the short plane mirrors typically employed in grazing angle accessories.
Features
- Fixed 75° incident angle for high sensitivity to contaminants and thin films on metals.
- Incorporates two SuperCharged™ ZnSe wedged windows to refract the beam to and from the sample. KRS-5 windows available by special order.
- Maximum sample size 0.125" thick by 1.7" x 1".
- Heatable to 500°C (under vacuum) for studying high temperature reactions by grazing angle reflectance.
- Operable at pressures from 13 mPa (10-4 torr) to 203 kPa (2 ATM).
- Highly efficient FT-IR accessory.
- Designed for in-line use of a wire grid polarizer.
Includes
- Two SuperCharged™ ZnSe wedged windows.
- Alignment mirror.
- FKM fluoroelastomer (equivalent to Viton) O-rings.
- Mating hardware for the specified infrared FT-IR spectrometer.
