Universal Sample Chamber
Our universal sample chamber can be configured for transmittance, reflectance, absorbance, or fluorescence measurements, with 0° or 45° sample positioning depending on the type of measurements required. It accepts standard 1-cm square cells or solid samples up to 50 x 50 x 10 mm, with custom sample holders available upon request. The sample chamber is normally set up with a scanning monochromator, which delivers monochromatic light. A quartz lens focuses this incident light in the center of the cell, or at the front surface of a sample depending on the position of the sample stage. Another quartz lens focuses the reflected, emitted, or transmitted light to the in-line port, or 90° exit port. A suitable detection system is then used to collect the light for analysis. As this is a singlebeam sample chamber, it requires a scan of the incident light with no sample, and then a second scan with the sample in the beam. The two scans are then ratioed to yield the sample characteristics.

Sample Holders

 

Raman Notch Filter Chamber

 

Model SC-447
is a four-port sample chamber with rotatable platform for holders (see below), a mount for slit assemblies, two ports compatible with light sources or detectors, one aperture port for customer-supplied accessories or beam dump, and two quartz lenses. It requires a sample holder for operation.

Bilateral Slit Assembly

Model 447-1
is a general-purpose sample holder that includes a holder for standard 10-mm-path-length cuvettes and a spring-clip-style holder for samples up to 50 x 50 x 10 mm.

 

Motorized Slit Assembly

 

Model 447-2
is a fixed-position mount with a removable sample holder for 1-inch-diameter samples. The removable sample holder slides into a fixed-position mount. It allows measurements at 0° and 45° with the beam passing through the center of the sample.

 

Source-Compensation Accesory

Model 447-3
is a fixed-position microscope slide holder that is designed to hold standard 1 x 3-inch slides. Stepped guides with spring clips hold the long edge of the slide so that the center of the slide (or sample) does not contact the holder. It allows 0° and 45° testing.
