PIKE 8Spec – Fixed 8° Specular Reflectance Accessory

A high-throughput, fixed 8-degree specular reflectance accessory for the analysis of coatings and thin films on reflective surfaces

Product Overview

The PIKE 8Spec is a dedicated accessory for the characterization of thin films, lubricants, and coatings on metallic or reflective substrates. By utilizing a fixed 8-degree angle of incidence, it provides a near-normal reflection measurement that is ideal for determining film thickness and surface quality. This accessory is widely used in the semiconductor, hard drive, and metal finishing industries.The 8Spec is designed for high efficiency and ease of use. Its all-reflective optical design ensures high energy throughput across the entire Mid-IR and Far-IR regions. Samples are simply placed face-down on the top plate, making it perfect for rapid quality control measurements of large or small flat samples

Key Features

  • Near-Normal Incidence: 8° angle is ideal for film thickness and coating uniformity.
  • High Efficiency: All-reflective gold-coated optics for maximum signal.
  • Rapid Analysis: Top-loading "place and measure" design for fast throughput.
  • Large Sample Area: Accommodates samples of various sizes on its flat top plate.
  • Rugged Design: Built for consistent performance in industrial environments
