Optimising use of near IR fibre probes

Three new fibre optic probes are designed for diffuse reflectance spectroscopy requiring high sensitivity and dynamic range

Lambda Solutions has introduced three new models of its near infra-red vector probes.

These fibre optic probes are designed for diffuse reflectance spectroscopy requiring high sensitivity and dynamic range.

They will interface with most existing FTIR, AOTF and dispersive spectrometers,.

The vector probes are said to be ideally suited for research, quality assurance and quality control applications in the chemical, agricultural, food and pharmaceutical industries.

The design of the units allow for ease of use in repetitive testing environments.

The new models include the NIR-H which is a 10cm probe with a gun-handle grip for ease of handling.

The NIR-HT includes the gun-handle grip with a built-in trigger, LEDs and a serial port interface to allow convenient connection to computer systems.

The third new model is the NIR-MB which is available with probe head lengths up to 30 cm and a versatile torpedo-shaped barrel grip.

The NIR-MB is also supplied complete with mounting accessories for fixed-position operation.

A proprietary optic design allows for exceptionally low internal light reflection and high light collection efficiency ensuring high signal to noise characteristics.

All the new models are constructed of stainless steel with sapphire windows and solvent resistant fittings.

The standard fibre length is two meters but models are available with custom fibre lengths.

In addition, all models can be supplied with immersible probe heads.
