FireStingO2
. On each sensor, a label (
L
)
with a specific Sensor Code is attached to the fiber-optic cable.
The protective plastic tube (
PT
) covering the bare fiber has to be
removed carefully before using the sensor. For this, fix the plastic
tube in a stable laboratory stand, loosen the clamping screw and
carefully pull out the bare fiber sensor.
NOTE:
After removal of the protective plastic tube the fragile
sensor tip is unprotected and sensitive to breakage!
CAUTION during handling to avoid breakage or injuries!
The bare fiber sensors
are available both as
microsensors (
OXB50
;
A) and as minisensors
(
OXB230
, B;
OXB430
,
C). They can be used
with
customized
housings
with
complex geometries
or they might be
inserted directly into samples ("implantable sensors").
