Product Overview
The PIKE RotatIR is a specialized spectroscopic accessory designed for the characterization of films and various solid materials where sample orientation is critical. By providing automated rotation, it enables researchers to measure film thickness via interference fringes and study the anisotropic nature of polymers and crystalline structures. This system eliminates the manual variability of sample positioning, ensuring highly repeatable and accurate data collection.Integration with PIKE AutoPRO software allows for seamless automation, making it an essential tool for laboratories focused on material science and quality control. Whether examining the crystallinity of a polymer or the refractive index of a coating, the RotatIR provides the mechanical precision required for high-end molecular spectroscopy. Its robust design is compatible with most commercial FTIR spectrometers, fitting easily into the standard sample compartment
