problem. Impact of these factors can be minimized if you can localize the beam to
the target area of the sample using the small spot kit so the beam just barely fits
over the edges of the mask.
Large sample reflectance measurements
When measuring large samples that cannot be accommodated within the sample
reflectance port cover, you will need to follow the steps below:
Prior to recording the scan, make sure that mirror M3 is located in the correct position.
To measure a sample::
1. Click the Setup button and set up instrument parameters as required by the application.
Select the %R ordinate scale. The Beam mode should be double.
2. Select the Zero/baseline correction or Zero x std ref correction radio button on the
Baseline tab.
3. Load a Spectralon standard at the reference port and a calibrated reflectance standard,
if available, at the sample reflectance port. If a calibrated standard is unavailable for
reflectance measurements, an uncalibrated Spectralon reflectance standard can be
substituted. Install the port covers over their respective ports.
4. Click the Baseline button.
5. At the 100%T scan prompt, select OK. The standard at the reflectance port serves as
the 100%R reference.
6. At the 0%T scan prompt block the sample beam at the transmission port or remove the
reflectance standard and use the reflectance port cover as a light trap.
7. Remove the reflectance port cover, the spring loaded sample holder, the sample shelf
and unscrew the dovetail using a 3mm hex driver.
8. Position and secure your sample up against the reflectance port and start you
reflectance measurement.
The recorded baseline correction will be effective until replaced by a follow-up baseline
scan.
Note
If you have adequate control over the room lighting, it is recommended that you
run your 0%T scan without the reflectance port cover in place. In this configuration
the room itself becomes the light trap.
