Remarks  

Attention: Thallium salts are toxic but because of the low water-solubility only little danger when handling with spectroscopy. KRS-5 is soluble in some organic barren (Ethylenglykol, Dimethylsulfoxide, 1,2-Propandiamin), complexing agents and strong basics. Max. temperature for application: 200°C, easy deformable (cold liquidity). 

Remarkable 
  • Conspicuous by its red-orange color
  • Frequently used as an ATR crystal and as a part of IR lens systems
  • A good transmission far into the FIR range (40 µm)
  • KRS-5 has to be handled with caution (thallium mixed crystal (TlBr0,42I0,48))
  • For the first time KRS-5 was manufactured in 1941 at Carl Zeiss in Jena
  • Maximum size of optics is 100 mm diameter
