Protective Whenever the sample compartment cover is open or off, the
windows or purge spectrometer is protected from environmental humidity and
shutters other chemical vapors by two windows (or two purge shutters, if
this option is installed). These windows or shutters isolate the
optics in the spectrometer. You still, however, need to be careful
when using or cleaning the spectrometer to avoid damaging the
optics or the windows, if installed. Never attempt to clean the
sample compartment windows.
Beamsplitter The beamsplitter access door lets you access the beamsplitter
access door compartment where you can easily remove and install
beamsplitters by releasing and engaging a latch. The
compartment also has a storage area for up to two additional
beamsplitters.
Notice: Beamsplitters are sensitive to moisture and must be
stored in a desiccated environment. To preserve the integrity of
your beamsplitters, leave them in their shipped configuration or
packaging until you have reviewed the instructions for handling
them. For more information, find "Handling Beamsplitters" in the
spectrometer Help.
If your spectrometer has the optional iS50 ABX (Automatic
Beamsplitter eXchanger), the beamsplitter compartment is
replaced with a tower where up to three beamsplitters can be
installed and interchanged using OMNIC Paradigm software.
