Product Overview
The PIKE GladiATR Illuminate is a unique tool for the study of light-activated chemical reactions. By incorporating a transparent window underneath the monolithic diamond crystal, this accessory allows for the introduction of external light sources (UV, Visible, or Laser) directly into the sample interface. This enables researchers to monitor vibrational changes in real-time as a reaction is triggered by light, providing deep insights into photocatalytic mechanisms and polymer curing.The monolithic diamond acts as both the internal reflection element and a chemically inert window, ensuring that the light source does not degrade the accessory. It maintains all the rugged features of the standard GladiATR, including high-pressure capability and a wide spectral range. It is an essential instrument for the emerging fields of solar energy conversion and light-harvesting material science
Key Features
