The Fiber Optic Probe (FOP)
General Overview of the Fiber Optic Probe
The fiber optic probe (FOP) is designed to enable the remote measurement of samples. It is
available in a range of different configurations, depending on the end-user’s application.
However, it should be noted that compatibility of the working environment with the probe
should be verified with PerkinElmer prior to use.
The probe body contains the filtering optics and is interfaced with two fiber optic cables (an
excitation fiber and collection fiber). Care should be taken when handling the probe body so
that the optical window is not soiled or damaged.
NOTE: If you use the probe body in any chemical or aggressive environment you must use
an immersion sleeve to protect the probe body. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE
PROBE BODY IN SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT WITHOUT THE USE OF AN
IMMERSION SLEEVE (L1320003). If required, contact PerkinElmer for further
details.
