Integrating Spheres, Reflectance/Transmittance


Offer versatility when measuring the reflectance and transmittance of samples.

Best for Measuring:
Reflectance of opaque samples
Transmittance of turbid samples
Color properties
Reflectance system design
Infrared reflectance
Reflectance vs. angle
Reflectance and transmittance of materials
These 6-inch Reflectance/Transmittance Integrating Spheres are designed for reflectance and transmittance measurements, such as specular included and specular excluded reflectance, forward- and backscatter, and turbid or scattering samples. The integrating spheres are coated with Infragold®, designed for use in the 700nm - 20µm wavelength region (NIR-MIR) or Spectraflect®, for the 250 – 2500nm wavelength range (UV-VIS-NIR).
The RT Integrating Spheres feature five 1-inch diameter ports to accommodate sample and reference beams necessary for a 9° double beam geometry, as well as port plugs required for 9° single beam geometry. A 0.50-inch detector port is located at the top of the sphere. A specular light trap is included for specular subtraction methods.
RTC Integrating Spheres add further versatility with a center-mounted sample holders so users are able to measure reflectance and transmittance versus incident angle of radiation. Five ports accommodate a sample and reference beams with a center-mount stage located at the top of the sphere, and a 0.50-inch detector port located at the bottom of the sphere assembly.
The sphere ports are knife-edged to permit collection of wide-angle scatter and the baffling is minimized to allow the detector a maximum view of the sphere wall. A detector port is located at the top of the sphere and baffled from receiving direct radiation from the specular, sample and reference ports.
