Used NANOMETRICS / BIO-RAD / ACCENT FTS 45 #9209908 for sale

NANOMETRICS / BIO-RAD / ACCENT FTS 45 is a high-performance Far-Infrared (FIR) Fourier transform spectrometer. It is specifically designed to measure the far-infrared spectral region from 5 to 600 cm-1 (+/- 0.4). The exceptional characteristics of this spectrometer make it ideal for a wide range of laboratory and research applications, including the spectroscopic study of molecular vibrations in biological and synthetic materials. ACCENT FTS 45 utilizes a unique all-reflection optical design for enhanced performance, allowing for enhanced sample transmission and resolution. Utilizing the energy from a broadband light source, which is typically a Globar, a special mirror that is highly reflective of infrared, the spectrometer can measure both the transmission and reflectance spectra of the sample. The sample can be placed in front of a fixed-position Michelson interferometer - a device used to measure changes in the optical path of light. The results are then translated into infrared absoprtion or transmission through the use of a Fourier transform algorithm, which converts the data into a linear spectrum. Additionally, BIO-RAD FTS 45 utilizes a unique low-distortion Michelson interferometer design, allowing for the highest resolution spectroscopy available, with a spectral resolution of 0.003 cm-1. This is also supplemented by a high-accuracy reflection-metrology system to measure the optical retardation between the two interferometer mirrors for optimal sample transmission. This spectrometer also comes with advanced data-acquisition capabilities, including real-time spectral imaging and automatic acquisitions programmable in either fully programmable or "smart" modes. The spectrometer also boasts an electronic data management system with a direct interface to Microsoft Office and other popular spreadsheet applications for easy file transfer and reporting. Furthermore, the accompanying software contains all the necessary tools for data analysis, calibration, and graphical plotting of spectra. Lastly, NANOMETRICS FTS 45 is designed for remote operation, giving it the capability to be controlled via a web interface from any computer or device, such as tablets and mobile phones. This not only gives access to data acquisition and analysis remotely, but also allows users to monitor instrument status and initiate sample runs, as well as long-term data logging. In summary, FTS 45 is a highly-advanced far-infrared spectrometer, designed to offer superior performance for a wide range of applications. Its low-distortion Michelson interferometer, high resolution, and comprehensive data acquisition and analysis capabilities make it an ideal choice for any laboratory or research setting.
