iS50 ATR module The optional built-in iS50 ATR module offers convenient,
(optional) reproducible Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) sampling with
the Nicolet iS50 spectrometer. The ATR module includes all-
reflective diamond optics, a dedicated broad-band detector,
extended spectral range and our signature Touch Point
operation.

Right and left The right and left external beam ports can be used to send the
external beam infrared beam to external modules connected to the
ports spectrometer such as the iS50 NIR module, the iS50 GC-IR
module, the iS50 Research module, or the Continuµm FT-IR
microscope. The external modules allow specialized sampling
while leaving the main sample compartment available for
transmission or other techniques. Each module has an
associated Touch Point that allows you to configure the
spectrometer and run experiments without needing to interact
with the computer.
Note: The left external beam port can also be used to send the
collimated beam from an external source such as a Synchrotron
beam line, directly into the interferometer (the beam bypasses
the aperture). Optional hardware is required.
Sample The sample compartment Touch Point allows you to configure
compartment the spectrometer for the installed sample, sampling module or
touch point accessory and then run experiments without needing to interact
with the computer. Other Touch Points are available for
sampling modules that mount in or alongside the spectrometer.
