Reflection/Backscattering Probes for Expanded
Wavelength Coverage
 R-series Fiber Optic Reflection Probes couple to our spectrometers and light
sources to create small-footprint optical-sensing systems for measuring reflection and fluorescence from solid surfaces, or backscattering and fluorescence in liquids and powders. Reflection probes can be optimized for the UV/VIS (250-800 nm) or VIS/NIR (400-2100 nm), or a combination of both ranges.
 |
The R200-MIXED has 14 fibers -- 6 UV/VIS and 6 VIS/NIR illumination fibers, plus 1 UV/VIS read fiber and 1 VIS/NIR read fiber. The probe couples easily to a dual-channel spectrometer in which each channel is set for a different wavelength range. |

* LTBR stands
for Long Term Bend Radius, the bend radius allowed long term (such as for
storage) before damaging the fiber.
** STBR stands for Short Term Bend Radius, the momentary bend radius
allowed before damaging the fiber.
