DAC cell IR Microscopy use

The BRI-160 DAC is a diamond anvil cell of a particular shape, such that it can be adapted to a commercial microscope. Due to the constraints imposed by its use under a microscope, the access to the pressure regulation system is lateral, operated by a long wrench which operates a screw flange in a direct drive pressure system. This transmits the force  to the diamond anvil's seats to generate high pressure on the  sample. A Belleville spring allows a smooth pressure control.

Diamond Anvil Cell technology is nowadays within the reach of even the smallest physics or chemistry laboratory. The simplicity of this device and its affordable price permit any interested scientist to perform measurements at pressures in the 100 GPa range and above. By combining the DAC with different investigation techniques, from the simplest ones, as microscope visual observation, through optical or Infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, to synchrotron x-ray scattering, researchers all around the word continues to investigate the changes under pressure of virtually any material. LOTO-eng manufactures a variety of types of DAC, among which, for sure, the one suitable for your purpose. LOTO-eng specialists will help you to identify the most suitable DAC cell, accessories and loading technique to meet your needs, in accordance with your scientific goal and your budget.
