Open Path Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer.

Tender description

Open Path Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer for hyperspectral measurements in the 1.5 to 15.5 μm spectral range, used to provide point measurements in support of atmospheric sciences, wildfire ecology, and volcanology. An Open Path Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer is required in NERC Field Spectroscopy Facilities to support the UK volcanology community. In order to study volcanoes using the FTIR, it is critical that the instrument can be brought to the rim of the volcano, where short range observations can be made. This purchase meets the requirements to operate under volcanic field conditions. Due to Health and Safety reasons, the OP FTIR field instruments are required to fall below 10 kg weight per unit instrument. This OP-FTIR falls below 10kg and also prevents the fouling of the telescope attachment with particulate or volcanic gases.
