-Patented Dynascan interferometer
Inherently stable design does not require dynamic alignment correction to compensate for errors found in linear mirror movement systems. Field-proven interferometer mechanism incorporates a simple, noncritical bearing for unmatched longevity and reliability
-Sigma-Delta conversion
Our use of Sigma-Delta converters in the digitization of the FT-IR interferogram improves dynamic range, reduces spectral artifacts, and increases ordinate linearity to produce accurate, reproducible results.
-Output focusing optics for second sampling station
Enables two sampling accessories to be installed simultaneously, removing the need to switch modules between measurements
-Temperature-stabilized DTGS detectors
All DTGS detectors are electronically controlled to ensure excellent reproducibility, regardless of ambient laboratory temperature
-Second-detector configuration
Sensitivity can be increased by adding a second detector, such as a cooled MCT detector (not shown)
