μ Contact Pressure Monitor

For ATR measurements the pressure is a very significant issue:

Too much pressure and either the sample or the ATR crystal will crack,

too little pressure and there is no good contact between the ATR crystal and your sample.

With the μ Contact Pressure Monitor you can set an alarm at a specified pressure. So while you gradually increase the pressure to obtain a good ATR spectrum, the alarm will be triggered as soon as you reach your pre-specified pressure limit. Like this you can apply the desired maximum pressure on the sample for obtaining a high quality spectrum without breaking your ATR-crystal.

Features

•Easy handling & mounting

•Universal use with most FTIR –Microscopes

•Can be combined with the MircoVice-Mini for additional ease of use

•Standard 25x27mm back plate of MicroVice-Mini for easy mounting on most microscope

Benefits

•Controlled pressure exertion on sample and ATR-objective

•Acoustic signal prevents applying excessive pressure

•ATR objective and sample are protected efficiently against breaking

•Error measurements resulting from high pressures are eliminated

•Multiple samples can be measured at a specified pressure setting, thus speeding up the processing of sample
