FL-400 Flame-resistant Fiber Probe
|
The FL-400 is a heat-resistant
fiber optic probe that couples to Ocean Optics miniature fiber optic
spectrometers to measure in situ emission spectra of samples such
as dissolved metals and high-temperature plasmas.
The FL-400 is $695.

High-temperature Fiber
The FL-400 Flame-resistant Fiber
Probe consists of a high-temperature 400 µm gold-jacketed UV-VIS optical
fiber in an 8-inch-long nickel sleeve. The probe is connected with a
splice bushing to a standard SMA-terminated patch cord, which couples to
the spectrometer to measure emission spectra.
Spectroscopy Teaching Tool
The FL-400 Flame-resistant Fiber
Probe is especially beneficial as an emission spectroscopy teaching tool
for use with Ocean Optics' CHEM4-series of low-cost, UV-VIS teaching-lab spectrophotometers. Use the probe
in two ways:
-
By introducing it into emission sample
environments up to 750° C
-
By attaching a standard platinum or
nickel wire loop at the probe tip so that users can observe flame
emission spectra of samples such as sodium, potassium, calcium and
copper
Interesting experiments to use in explaining emission
measurements.
Specifications
These specifications apply to the gold-jacketed fiber and nickel sleeve
that comprise the probe assembly. The probe connects with a splice bushing
to a standard patch cord.
