Fiber Optic Reflection Probes
Reflection Fiber Optic Probes from FlexiSpec® product line are designed to measure Diffuse and Specular Reflectance, Backscatter, or Fluorescence of solid, liquid, and powder samples. Reflection and Backscatter measurements provide important quantitative information about chemical composition of a sample.
- Thinnest probe tips with diameter 0.5 mm
- Fiber Optic Multi-Leg or Y– design Reflection Probe
- Minimal Cross Talk with Metal-Coated Fibers
- Flat & angled (38⁰) tip design
- Round-to-Round, Round-to-Line, Hexagonal & octagonal Fiber Probe design
Optromix offers a large variety of specially designed Reflection & Fluorescent Probes. Based on Bifurcated or Multi-Channel Furcated Fiber Optic Bundles with ”Illuminating” Leg to carry light from a source to a sample – and “Reading” Leg to carry reflected light to a Spectrometer.
Unlike traditional reflection probes, which have “6-around-1” – fiber bundle configuration, our probes have “7 around 1”, and “9 around 1” design. That’s because in such configurations reflected and back-scattered signals are much higher than in traditional ones.
For special applications we provide < 7 + 12 > design: 7 randomized illuminating fibers with 12 randomized reading fibers.
All Illuminating Fibers of our Reflection Probes are with metal coating clad, that why cross-talk between the illuminating fibers is blocked, and in the result – Signal/Noise ratio is higher than in similar probes with fiber polymer coatings.
Our Reflection Fiber Probes are available with two, three or four fiber legs, and Round-to-Round (R/R) or Round-to-Line (R/L) construction.
