Glan-Taylor calcite prism polarizer
Polarizer and Depolarizer Accessories for UV-Vis & UV-Vis-NIR
Polarizer and depolarizer accessories control the plane polarization of the light beam in a spectrophotometer. The unpolarized light emitted by the spectrophotometer's lamp is partially polarized by the instrument optics when it reaches the sample. The selected spectral bandwidth, and photomultiplier used, will also affect the polarizing characteristics of a spectrophotometer.
Various accessory options are available. The manual polarizer is a wire grid, mounted in a slide with dial, designed for Cary 60, 3500 Flexible, 4000, 5000, 6000i, and 7000 UV-Vis and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometers. Glan-Taylor and Glan-Thompson polarizers are used with the universal measurement accessory (UMA), solid sample holders, and diffuse reflectance accessories (DRAs). The depolarizer consists of two crystalline quartz wedges, assembled so that the crystal axes are at 45 degrees. A software-controlled automated polarizer/depolarizer is also available for Cary 4000, 5000, 6000i, and 7000 systems.
