Product Overview
The PIKE Falcon Mid-IR brings advanced temperature management to standard transmission spectroscopy. It is designed to house liquid cells and film holders, providing a stable thermal environment from ambient to 130 °C. This is vital for applications such as monitoring the oxidation of lubricants, the curing of resins, or the study of thermal phase changes in liquid crystals.The Mid-IR Falcon utilizes high-performance infrared windows (such as ZnSe or KBr) and features a design that minimizes thermal gradients across the sampling area. By controlling the temperature of the sample precisely, researchers can achieve highly reproducible quantitative data that is not affected by laboratory ambient conditions. It fits effortlessly into the standard FTIR sample compartment
