Tip styles
Tip style
Use with...
Flat
The end of this tip is flat, which makes it ideal for measuring films
and flat plastics as well as tiny shavings and fibers. This is a general
purpose tip style.
Concave
The end of this tip is slightly concave to allow good contact with
powders and curved solids such as a tablet or polymer bead.
NOTICE
• Make sure the sampling plate is installed before you place a sample on the ATR
crystal.
• Avoid damaging or contaminating the ATR internal optics. Keep samples and other
lab materials away from the ATR module when the sampling plate has been removed.
