Information
The DC-2 is a unique diamond compression cell, using proven high temperature diamond-to-metal bonding technology for maximum strength and durability.

The cell consists of two Hastelloy plates containing a pair of diamond windows. This enables samples to be compressed to an ideal thickness for transmission measurements. This means that sample preparation is minimal, and the samples are ready for direct analysis on an FTIR microscope stage.

No tools are required, making sample loading both quick and simple. The screw down compression system gives non-rotating uniform pressure across the sample and the large clear aperture is ideal for multiple sample loading.

Our unique diamond mount provides a significant strength advantage. Because of this strength we can minimize the thickness of the diamond, allowing us to achieve the highest optical throughput for this type of micro transmission cell.
