ATR-Mir spectrometer (Ocean MZ5) / Spectrometers
Ocean MZ5 is a miniature ATR Mir spectrometer with measurement capabilities from 1818-909 cm-1 (5.5-11µm). It allows absorbance, reflectance and transmittance measurement techniques
ATR-Mir spectrometer (Ocean MZ5) summary
This miniature ATR spectrometer contains all needed instruments: the sample interface, the light source and detector, the crystal cover and the Ocean Mirror software. It is a compact, fast and scalable alternative to traditional FTIR spectroscopy solutions.
Ocean MZ5 is a complete system and does not require any external equipment such as light sources or fibers. The dedicated software allows users to measure absorbance and transmittance of liquids placed on the instrument’s crystal surface. A rotating cover protects the crystal when not in use.
Applications include chemical discrimination, food and flavorings analysis, environmental testing and scientific research.

How does an ATR spectrometer work?
- A sample is placed directly on the crystal
- Light enters one end of the crystal, does 9 bounces with total internal reflection
- Light interacts with the material touching the crystal
- The material absorbs the light based on the material properties and the signal us attenuated
- Light exists the crystal and enters a pyroelectric detector with an LVF
- The LVF covered detector creates a spectra in the same manner as our traditional detectors with LVFs
