Combining infrared spectroscopy with polarizer, Universal Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) Polarization Accessory provides polarized measurements, which offer additional information on molecular structure of sample and help characterize materials. Accessory is particularly suited for crystal structure analysis, polymer and fiber orientation studies, and structural analysis studies of biomolecules. Variable angle polarizer can be removed for non-polarized measurements.
