I 3D printed some new apertures for an infrared spectrometer at work to reduce some issues that cause artifacts in the data to enable higher accuracy measurements, particularly of high index and reflective samples. Seems to be working well now.
- jacquesm 9mo agoVery nice, did you run into any interesting challenges?
- s0rce 9mo agoMostly what I was able to read from the papers seemed to work. There were some remaining issues related to detector non-equivalence (I think) that appear to be solved with a temperature stabilized detector or very strongly attenuating the beam; the latter isn't ideal as it reduces the signal to noise.
- jacquesm 9mo agoIt's interesting how fast such experiments usually run into the laws of physics. I'm trying something along those lines myself and I've found myself wishing daily that light traveled a bit slower. I see Discworld in a wholly different light ;)
