Industrial Reflection Probe for Powders & Thick Fluids
The FCR-7xx200-2-45-IND is a heavy-duty reflection probe with exchangeable tip to get spectral information of powders or thick fluids.
The probe end is simply dipped into the powder or liquid to make the measurement.
Via a standard SMA905 connector, light is coupled into a fibre bundle, consisting of 6 fibres and carried to the probe end where it lights up the material to be analysed through a silica window under 45° degrees. This angle is necessary to avoid direct reflections from the window. The powder or fluid will selectively reflect light back into the 7th fibre. This fibre transfers the data to the output SMA905 connector, which can be coupled to a spectrometer or a spectral analyser.
