IntegratIR - New Mid-IR Integrating Spheres from PIKE Technologies

PIKE Technologies is introducing the next generation of integrating spheres designed for use with FTIR spectrometers.

The spheres feature 3-inch diameter highly reflective gold-coated surfaces and are available in upward- and downward-looking configurations. Dedicated detector electronics and an on-board detector are optimized to provide the best sensitivity. To match specific sampling and application needs, a selection of mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) or deuterated triglycine sulfate (DTGS) detectors is available for both configurations.

The spheres are designed to measure total hemispherical reflectance of solids, powders and opaque liquids or the diffuse component only. Diffuse transmittance of materials can also be measured by placing the sample in the dedicated holder in the path of the IR beam entering the sphere. On both configurations of this accessory a specular exclusion port is standard.

The IntegratIR is available for a wide range of the FTIR spectrometers that support an external detector option.
