An imaging infrared spectrometer system includes an ATR unit (10) having a
sample window (12) above an optical system (19) that directs radiation
through the window onto the sample and directs radiation from the sample
via corrective optics (40) to an imaging detector (4). The corrective
optics is in the form of a wedge-shape prism (40) with a reflective
surface (28) and is located near a focus of the optical system (19). The
wedge prism (40) is effective to correct the focal plane orientation and
anamorphic magnification at the sample.
