Infrared Fourier spectrometer "InfraLUM® FT-08"

To achieve the maximum sensitivity during measurements, a special prefix is used to the FT-801 Fourier spectrometer, which is an optical unit with a built-in highly sensitive MST detector cooled with liquid nitrogen. The set-top box is installed in the cuvette compartment of the spectrometer and connected to the corresponding external electrical port, the detector is turned on programmatically. In this case, the sensitivity of the method increases many times (up to 20) – depending on the type of standard uncooled detector in the spectrometer). The speed of recording spectra is also increasing. The operating time after filling the cryostat (200 ml capacity) with liquid nitrogen is at least 6 hours. Increasing the sensitivity of the spectrometer using a prefix with an MST detector may be required for many applications: in fiber spectroscopy, when recording emission spectra of low-power emitters, in trace gas analysis with high spectral resolution, when determining the presence of impurities in samples in ultra-low concentrations, when using multi-pass gas cuvettes, etc. In the picture: on the left in the cuvette compartment there is a capler with fiber from Art photonics GmbH, Berlin, Germany, on the right there is a prefix with an MST detector. Technical specifications The recommended number of scans when registering spectra is 16 Spectrum registration time at 50 scans (resolution 4 cm-1), sec 20 Cryostat capacity, 200 ml Working time after filling the cryostat, 6 hours Overall dimensions, mm 225×175×75 Weight, kg 1.45

FT-801 IR Fourier spectrometers can additionally be equipped with a special optical set-top box that allows efficient use of light-guide systems. 4 types of light-guide probes allow measuring transmission and reflection spectra in solid, liquid and gaseous media Modern IR light guides have high intrinsic transmittance and sufficient mechanical strength, which makes it possible to transfer measurements from the laboratory directly to production - to control the flow of technological processes, check the quality of raw materials and finished products. Application areas: · Chemical and microbiological industry · Pharmaceutical industry · Medicine and Cosmetology · Food industry · Petroleum products, fuels and lubricants · Criminology

They are used for the study of liquids, including solutions with low concentrations • Have a collapsible design that allows you to use the supplied gaskets of different thicknesses • Window material – ZnSe (it is possible to order windows from SiO2 and KBr) • Gasket material – Teflon (fluoroplast) • Thickness of gaskets – 0.022 mm, 0.1 mm, etc.

The main difference between this set-top box and the universal set-top box of the NPVO and ZDO is that a prism is used as a working element of the MNPVO, which allows to obtain several reflections from the area of contact with the sample under study, which leads to an improvement in the quality of the spectrum and an increase in the sensitivity of the method (absorption bands become more pronounced). The registration of specular and diffuse reflection spectra (ZDO) is not provided on this set-top box. The MNPVO prefix is effective in registering the absorption spectra of samples whose dimensions (number) are sufficient to ensure contact with the entire area of the working face of the prism: * liquids of any degree of viscosity (solutions, suspensions, oils, etc.); * solid elastic samples (polymer fragments of sufficiently large size, rubbers, plastics, etc.); * powdered samples in quantities sufficient to be applied to the entire surface and samples in the form of thin tapes; The universal clamp is equipped with a precision lever mechanism for quickly lowering the tip and a micrometer screw that allows you to pre–set the optimal degree of pressure - this ensures quick sample change and repeatability of the results during measurements. For convenience when working with liquid and paste-like samples, it is possible to rotate the clamping console by 180o. Note: the MNPVO prefix does not exclude the possibility of registering the spectra of samples whose dimensions are smaller than the area of the working face of the prism (the presence of a visual inspection system of the surface under study increases convenience when working with small-sized objects), but the overall effectiveness of the method is significantly lower than when using the universal NPVO and ZDO prefix.

The sample heating system is designed to expand the capabilities of standard set-top boxes NPVO-ZDO and NPVO-A. It consists of a heated replaceable frame with a diamond prism and a temperature controller unit. For most solid samples in the heated state, it is possible to obtain a much more pronounced NPV spectrum than in the cold state. This makes it possible to increase the sensitivity of the method several times. The properties of some substances and compounds change dramatically with an increase in temperature, chemical interaction processes between components, their decomposition, oxidation in air, etc. may occur. If changes in the chemical composition of a substance occur during heating, a set of spectra corresponding to the kinetics of the process can be obtained with the help of an NPVO prefix with a diamond thermocell and a temperature controller, which is essential expands the possibilities of the method in research. Technical characteristics of the NPVO set-top box with a thermocell and a controller Transmission in the operating range of the spectrum, % of the input signal at least 10 The recommended number of scans when registering spectra is 25 Spectrum registration time at 25 scans (resolution 4 cm-1), sec 30 The depth of penetration of radiation into the sample, microns 5 – 15 Minimum dimensions of the solid sample, mm 0.5 × 0.5 Minimum volume of the liquid under study, ml 1 Minimum dimensions of the fiber sample: cross-section diameter/length, mm 0.3/1 The material of the crystal substrate is DIAMOND The diameter of the free zone of the crystal, mm not less than 2 x 3 The diameter of the focus spot, mm 1.5 Maximum temperature With 220o Adjustment accuracy, With 1o Time to reach the maximum temperature, min 10 Overall dimensions, mm 130×200×90 Weight, kg 1,2

It is designed for measurement by the method of disturbed total internal reflection with simultaneous visualization of a micro-object on an integrated and external monitor, as well as by the method of mirror-diffuse reflection with an angle of incidence of 45o at the upper location of the sample. The prefix in the mode of a single NIP is used to register absorption spectra: liquids of any degree of viscosity (solutions, suspensions, oils, etc.), including those with high chemical activity; solid objects of arbitrary shape, including samples with very high hardness (any polymers, fragments of paint coatings, etc.); powdery substances, including powders with very high hardness (drugs, pharmaceuticals, explosives, inorganic compounds); samples in the form of thin tapes; samples in the form of fibers. The maximum hardness and chemical resistance of the diamond significantly expand the possibilities of the method; there is no need for periodic replacement of the crystal. The set-top box allows you to register spectra without time–consuming sample preparation, and the presence of a visual inspection system of the studied surface with a high-quality video camera and a built-in high-definition mini-monitor increases efficiency when working with small samples - fragments of thin fibers, microparticles, etc. The built-in monitor has the functions of digital 10X zoom, inverting, etc. The image can be simultaneously displayed on the computer screen (using a USB interface) and then saved as a file. The removable flange provides a quick and convenient sample change and cleaning of the crystal surface. The design with a diamond element protruding above the base plane of the NPVO allows you to study samples with sufficiently large overall dimensions. The high quality and repeatability of the results is achieved due to the absence of the influence of the thickness of the substance layer on the shape of the spectrum and the intensity of the absorption bands. The sample retains its original physicochemical properties and, if necessary, can be further investigated by other methods. The universal attachment clamp is equipped with a precision lever mechanism for quickly lowering the tip and a micrometer screw that allows you to pre–set the optimal degree of pressure - this ensures quick sample change and repeatability of the results during measurements. For convenience when working with liquid and paste-like samples, as well as in the ZDO mode, it is possible to rotate the clamping console by 180o. The console is equipped with two replaceable tips – with a spherical working part and with a flat hinged head. The high hardness of the diamond allows the use of large clamping forces, which is the determining factor for obtaining high-quality spectra. A replacement table is used to register the specular and diffuse reflection spectra. The sample is located on the subject plane of the investigated surface downwards. The method is used to determine the spectral characteristics of optical parts, thin tapes on the surface, crystals, and other large solid objects of arbitrary shape and size.

Single- and multi-pass flask are used for qualitative and quantitative spectral analysis of gas mixtures. The use of multi-pass flask makes it possible to confidently detect extremely small concentrations of the components of the gas under study (less than ppm units). • Three types of flask are supplied: 1. single-pass, having a stroke length of 100 mm, with a glass body and windows made of ZnSe, KBr, NaCl 2. multi-pass, with a beam stroke length of up to several tens of meters 3. multi-pass, with a beam stroke length of up to several tens of meters, equipped with a heating system of the working chamber up to 200 ° C and a thermal controller Multi-pass cuvettes have a transparent working chamber made of quartz glass; mirrors with a gold (99.999) coating provide a reflection coefficient in the IR region of at least 98%; additionally, cuvettes can be equipped with pressure and temperature sensors, fittings for controlling gas flow, etc.

A liquid flask with an adjustable layer thickness of the liquid under study is made in the form of an optical-mechanical attachment installed in the cuvette compartment of the FT-801 spectrometer. It contains focusing optics, removable holders of two windows-substrates with a diameter of 10 mm and two adjusting screws placed on the upper panel of the console housing and designed to set the required gap between the windows. A liquid of any degree of viscosity is pre-applied in the form of a small drop to the lower window and then, in the process of smooth convergence of the windows, evenly fills the gap between them. By rotating the adjusting screws and observing the transmission spectrum online, the user has the opportunity to set the desired thickness of the liquid layer, guided by the overall intensity of the entire spectrum or by the intensity of specific absorption bands. In the presence of calibration, which is easy to create using the ZaIR 3.5 program for several samples with a known concentration, the cuvette allows quantitative measurements. The flask is indispensable in the analysis of mixtures containing impurities in small proportions. Technical specifications Transmission in the operating range of the spectrum, % of the input signal at least 50 The recommended number of scans when registering spectra is 16 Time of spectrum registration at 16 scans (resolution 4 cm-1), sec 20 Minimum volume of the studied liquid, mm3 1 The diameter of the focus spot, mm 3 Overall dimensions, mm 200×90×160 Weight, kg 1,1 The figure shows several spectra of the viscous lubricant "Buxol", illustrating the process of selecting the thickness of the sample layer between the windows.
