5.5 External sample cabinet - IMAC
The external sample cabinet IMAC
1
is designed for sample viewing by means of a video
camera video camera and imaging spectroscopy using a FPA detector. It allows for ana-
lyzing larger sample areas than using the microscope. (Note: For this purpose, you need
to remove the FPA detector, the video camera and the light source from the microscope.
In case you have an additional light source and/or video camera, the removal and rein-
stallation of these components are not necessary.)
For measurements with IMAC, the sample is placed in the sample compartment of
IMCA. For this purpose a sample holder for transmission measurements is included in
the delivery scope. Optionally, additional accessories with QuickLock baseplate are
available which can placed in the IMAC sample compartment, for example: reflection
unit A517-P/Q for reflection measurements and ATR unit A529-S/Q for attenuated total
reflection measurements.
IMAC is designed for a right-side coupling to the microscope.
In most cases, a beam attenuator is required for measurements with the IMAC. The
beam attenuator has to be inserted in the corresponding slot of the optical adaptation
box between spectrometer and HYPERION 3000. (See fig. 5.8.)
