PerkinElmer Compression Cell - N1870185

Compression Cell. Compression Cell This is a device for flattening soft materials and holding specimens flat and in optical contact with salt windows. The cell consists of an aluminum block machined to accept IR windows, window retainers and a special wrench to apply pressure across the IR windows. The specimen is held between two IR windows. The Compression Cell fits into the sample slide holder on the stage of the FT-IR microscope. One and two millimeter thick windows of 13mm outer diameter can be used with the cell; two KBr windows (2mm thickness) are included. The cell can apply pressure without rotating (and therefore scratching) the windows.
