RefractorReactor™ Grazing Angle Accessory - RGR-XXX-3

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.
• Mating hardware for the specified infrared FT-IR spectrometer.
