Product Overview
The PIKE Mid-IR IntegratIR brings the benefits of integrating sphere technology to the Mid-Infrared spectral region. Unlike standard diffuse reflectance accessories, the IntegratIR collects nearly all reflected light over a hemispherical area, which is essential for accurate measurements of absolute reflectance and emissivity. This is a critical capability for researchers working on advanced materials, thermal coatings, and complex geological samples.The interior of the sphere is coated with a specially formulated diffuse gold, providing high efficiency across the entire Mid-IR range. With an integrated detector (DTGS or MCT) and a top-loading design, it provides a stable and repeatable platform for challenging samples. The accessory fits most commercial FTIR spectrometers, offering a seamless upgrade for advanced reflectance studies
Key Features
- Absolute Reflectance: Ideal for measurements where total hemispherical reflectance is required.
- Inhomogeneous Sample Analysis: Effectively averages signals from textured or multi-colored surfaces.
- Integrated IR Detector: Custom-matched detector ensures high optical throughput.
- Top-Loading Interface: Simplified sample placement for large or small specimens.
- High Spectral Purity: Diffuse gold coating ensures no spectral artifacts in the Mid-IR
