High sensitivity
Broad spectral response, 5,000 to 600 cm-1
The 80026 is a liquid nitrogen cooled MCT detector. It has a broad spectral response, close to that of DTGS, but lets you measure signals ~100X weaker. It also acquires data about 8X faster than DTGS. The 80026 comes with an industry standard, 8 hour dewar. It has a two stage, low noise amplifier. The first stage has three settings: LOW (gain of 10), MED (gain of 30), and HIGH (gain of 100). The second stage provides AC coupling and 10X amplification.
