You may gently flush the accessory with pure nitrogen to remove water by using the
N
2
connector lines at the back of the instrument.
Keep the reference plates clean; if they become dirty, new plates are available from
Varian. The part number for the flat PTFE reference plate is 04 1014439 00, and for
the protruding PTFE reference plate 04 101988 00.

Standards
Reference surfaces for reflectance and transmittance in the solar wavelengths are
available from (among others) Labsphere in the USA, the National Institute of
Standards and Testing (NIST) in the USA, and from the National Physics Laboratory
(NPL) in the UK.
Labsphere provide reference surfaces with reflectances varying from 2%R to 99%R.
Labsphere may be contacted at:

Fax: 603 927 4694
NIST provide a range of transmittance filters and solutions, and also provide the
following materials for reflectance:
• First surface, aluminium on glass
• First surface, gold on glass
• Second surface, aluminium on fused quartz
• Second surface, aluminium on fused quartz, with wedge
