Measure Optical Materials
Use the Solid Sample Holder equipped with the Universal Sample Holder to measure the transmission characteristics of a variety of optical materials. Optical filters such as dichroic mirrors, band pass and Cut-On/Cut-Off filters can be easily mounted. The collimated beam in the sample compartment makes the measurement of long or thick optical materials simple and accurate. Samples sizes up to 4 1/4" (120 mm) high and 5 1/2" (137 mm) wide or long can be mounted in the Solid Sample Holder using the Universal Sample Holder. The Universal Sample Holder is great for measuring round, square, or awkwardly shaped samples like eyewear lenses and plastic containers.
Measure Large Transparent Solid Materials
The Evolution 300 and 600 instruments feature a wide beam separation of 210 mm. This large distance between the sample beam and reference beam provides the capability to measure large transparent materials. Large materials up to 5 1/2" (137 mm) high and 12 3/4" (322 mm) long can be measured for transmission using the Universal Sample Holder with the Solid Sample holder accessory.
Polarization measurements
Multiple sample slides are available for mounting components before or after optical samples. Variable angle polarizers such as Glan-Taylor and Glan-Thompson polarizer are easily mounted. A depolarizer is also available and mounts in the second 2" x 3" sample slide. Polarization characteristics of optical materials can be performed easily in the large sample compartment.
Variable Angle Specular Reflectance Measurements
A series of fixed angle relative specular reflectance accessories (SRA) including 20, 30, 45, 60 and 85 degrees are available. Since the reflectance characteristics of many optical materials vary with the angle of the incident beam, these fixed angle SRAs are available to measure your sample at a variety of angles. These fixed angle SRAs are also conveniently designed to fit in the standard 2" x 3" sample slide that comes with the Solid Sample Holder.
