_FR-Basic series |
FR-Basic is a modular and expandable series of measurement instruments that share the same technological platform, the White Light Reflectance Spectroscopy. FR-Basic tools are tailored to the customer needs and are capable to be used in a wide range of diverse applications through standard Absorbance/Transmittance and Reflectance measurements, to Films Characterization under temperature and ambient controlled environment.
FR-Basic tools have been carefully designed to be assembled by modules. Each FR-Basic tool consists of five modules (Core Module, Case Module, Working Area Module, Optical Fiber Configuration and Cover Top Module). Furthermore threre is an Extension Series of Accessories. By choosing or combining different modules one can make the most suitable measurement and characterization set-up for any end-user needs.
Figure 1, summarize the different configurations from which FR-Basic consist of. |

* Thickness measuremens range is reprensetative of the spectra range and refer to a single film layer with refractive index ~1.5 over a reflective substrate. |
_Case Module options |
Type A
In this case the optical connections are in the front panel in order to maximize the response and the sensitivity of light source and the spectrometer respectively. When this option is selected, Cover Top can not be used. |
|
Type B
In this case the optical connections are locate on the back top of the case. This configuration support all accessories and thus offers increased modularity of the FR-basic. |
|

Flow cell
Varioust types of flow cells are available with different optical path lengh:
- Ultra short: 100μm - 2000μm optical path lenght (0.03μl - 0.30μl volume)
- Medium range: 10mm - 100mm optical path lenght (8μl - 25μl volume)
- Long range: 1m and 5m optical path lenght (240μl/m volume)
|
|
Reflection Probe
For measurement the reflectance of solid samples or/and measure the thickness of coated reflective substrates. |
|
Hot plate
For real time measurements of reflectance and film thickness, under thermal treatment, e.g. polymer films (Tg, degradation...), bioreactions* etc. It may be combined with an external chiller for cooling.
* requires a flow cell. |
|
Liquid vessel
For real time film measurements in liquid environment with or without stabilized temperature, e.g. for resist dissolution, coating resistance etc. It may combined with external chiller for cooling under environment temperature. |
|
Gas Chamber
For real time films measurements under controlled gas ambient, e.g. for swelling measurement of polymer film, coated resistance etc. It may be combined with hot plate and with external chiller for cooling. |
|
