Using SpectroClip
The procedure for using your SpectroClip differs, depending on which model you have.
Using SpectroClip-R
► Procedure
1. Unscrew one part of the fiber cover.
2. Slip the spiral coiled tubes over the fibers.
3. Connect the two fibers to the SMA connectors. You shouldn’t use a fiber thicker than 400 µm on
the focusable SMA connector from the picture above.
4. Assemble the fiber cover and tighten the three screws. The spiral coiled tube should begin inside
the fiber cover.
5. To record a dark spectrum use the black/ white reference with the black side turned to the
reflectance sphere.
6. To record a reference spectrum use the black/ white reference with the white side turned to the
reflectance sphere.
7. Clamp your measuring object into your SpectroClip and start the measurement.
Caution
For mechanical reasons, you can use samples with a height of up to 15 mm only.
Avoid stray light. During your measurement there should be no light bypassing
your sample.
Using SpectroClip-TR
1. Unscrew one part of the fiber cover.
2. Slip the spiral coiled tubes over the fibers.
3. Connect three fibers to the SMA connectors. If you don’t use all SMA connectors cover the
empty connector with a protection cap.
