Diffuse Reflection Accessory - Praying Mantis

The Praying Mantis was the first generally available diffuse reflection attachment and remains the forerunner in the field. lt incorporates two 6:1, 90° off-axis ellipsoids that form a highly efficient diffuse reflection illumination and collection system. This unique configuration deflects the specular reflectance away from the collecting ellipsoid, minimizing the associated spectral distortions. lt also can be configured to study materials and reactions in controlled environments with the appropriate reaction chamber.
