FR-ES

Compact entry level system

Introduction

FR-ES is a compact and light-weighted unit for the non-destructive characterization of transparent and semi-transparent coatings in a wide thickness range and of thin metallic layers. FR-ES is the ideal configuration for research labs. With FR-ES, the user can perform reflectance reflectance and transmittance measurements in various spectral ranges.

FR-ES platform is designed to provide excellent performance in terms of characterization of coatings at a small footprint. It is employed in a wide range of diverse measurement applications: Film thickness, Refractive Index, Color, Transmittance, Reflectance, and many more. There are five FR-ES configurations available:

UV/VIS (200-850nm),
UV/NIR-EXT (200-1000nm),
UV/NIR-HR (190-1100nm)
NIR-N1 (850-1050nm),
NIR (900-1700nm)

Then, there is a wide range of Accessories, such as:
Filters to block light at certain spectral regimes
FR-Mic for measurements at very small areas,
Manual stage, 25x25mm, 100x100mm or 200x200mm
Film/Cuvette Holder for Absorbance / Transmittance and chemical concentration measurements,
Integration Spheres for diffuse & total reflectance
