PIKE 80Spec – Fixed 80° Grazing Angle Reflectance

A dedicated 80-degree grazing angle accessory for the sensitive analysis of ultra-thin films and lubricants on reflective substrates

Product Overview

The PIKE 80Spec is a fixed-angle accessory designed for grazing angle specular reflectance (GIR). By fixing the angle at 80 degrees, this accessory provides the high sensitivity needed for detecting ultra-thin coatings (less than 1 micron) while maintaining a simpler, more affordable design than variable-angle systems. It is the perfect choice for routine analysis of thin lubricants on hard drives or polymer coatings on metal foils.The 80Spec features a compact, all-reflective optical design with gold-coated mirrors. It is remarkably easy to use, requiring no complex alignment when moving between samples. The grazing angle geometry is specifically chosen to maximize the infrared absorption of thin layers, making it a powerful tool for quality control and research in surface-modified materials

Key Features

  • Fixed Grazing Angle: 80° incidence optimized for ultra-thin film sensitivity.
