ATR Internal Reflection Trapezoid

from $417.00

The ATR Internal Reflection Trapezoid prism is designed with a trapezoidal cross-section, which provides certain advantages in spectroscopic measurements. The trapezoidal shape allows for a larger contact area between the prism and the sample, enabling a more efficient transfer of infrared light. This increased contact area helps to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the spectroscopic analysis.

The specific dimensions of an ATR Internal Reflection Trapezoid prism can vary depending on the application. However, it typically features a trapezoidal base and angled faces that allow for efficient internal reflection and interaction with the sample.

Comparison of ATR Trapezoid to ATR Paralleogram:

Shape:

  • ATR Trapezoid: The ATR trapezoid prism has a trapezoidal shape with one pair of parallel sides and the other pair of non-parallel sides.

  • ATR Parallelogram: The ATR parallelogram prism has a parallelogram shape with two pairs of parallel sides.

Contact Area:

  • ATR Trapezoid: The trapezoidal shape of the prism provides a larger contact area between the prism and the sample. This allows for a more efficient transfer of infrared light and improved sensitivity in spectroscopic measurements.

  • ATR Parallelogram: The parallelogram shape also provides a good contact area between the prism and the sample, although it may have a slightly smaller contact area compared to the trapezoidal prism.

Internal Reflection:

  • ATR Trapezoid: The trapezoidal shape of the prism facilitates efficient internal reflection of light, enabling accurate analysis of the sample's absorption properties.

  • ATR Parallelogram: Similarly, the parallelogram shape also allows for effective internal reflection of light, leading to precise spectroscopic measurements.

Prism Handling:

  • ATR Trapezoid: The trapezoidal prism may offer some advantages in terms of ease of handling and alignment due to its simpler shape.

  • ATR Parallelogram: The parallelogram prism may require more attention to alignment and handling to ensure optimal performance.

Both the ATR trapezoid and ATR parallelogram prisms are commonly used in ATR spectroscopy, and their selection depends on the specific application requirements. The trapezoid prism offers a larger contact area, potentially enhancing sensitivity, while the parallelogram prism may provide a different prism geometry option for certain applications. Ultimately, the choice between the two would depend on the specific needs and constraints of the spectroscopic analysis being performed.
