The VariGATR™ grazing angle ATR accessory is an innovative instrument for testing monolayers on semiconductor and metallic substrates.
The VariGATR™ is designed with variable angle to enable the incident angle to be optimized for excellent sensitivity with these types of samples.
The specifically designed pressure applicator assists in delivering proper contact between the sample and the Ge ATR crystal.
The VariGATR™ offers exceptional performance in providing quick, repeatable measurements as well as an order of magnitude increase in sensitivity compared to grazing angle techniques. Moreover, it provides the convenience of easy usage.
Key Features
The main features of the VariGATR™ grazing angle ATR accessory include:
