Microscope sample cell GS02555

Specac’s DC-3 Diamond Compression Cell is designed for FTIR microscope analysis. The DC-3 diamond compression cell enables solid and semi-solid type samples, such as fibers, microplastics, particulates, paint chips, and other small solid matter to be compressed to an ideal thickness for transmission experiments prior to IR spectroscopic analysis. Key FeaturesO • High Quality Diamond windows: The cell uses two single flat, parallel crystal diamond windows of circa 3.5mm diameter and 0.5mm thickness. • Simple thumbscrew fasteners: The size and position of the thumbscrews makes the cell easy to assemble and to adjust the pressure applied to the sample. • Large clear aperture of 1.5mm diameter gives ample room to analyse micro samples under a microscope. • High working pressure: A compressible O-ring is used between two fixing screws that pull the plate assemblies together for even and level sample contact. • 440C Stainless steel body construction • Beam condenser option for mounting the DC-3 in a regular benchtop FTIR instrument. The beam condenser uses ZnSe or KRS-5 lenses to focus the beam 4x and illuminate the aperture of the DC-3 for transmission analysis.
