Phil’s knowledge of optics, mechanics, and software along with his honesty and dedication earned him great respect. His fun-loving nature, thoughtfulness and loyalty made him many friends. He influenced the FTIR industry with high value accessories and dedication to never having an unhappy customer. Under his leadership, PIKE created a comprehensive line of sampling accessories including Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR), diffuse and specular reflectance, transmission cells and automation. The business consistently grew under his direction until his death in 1999. His ideals live on.

Today, PIKE continues to specialize in the development and manufacture of accessories and optical systems that enhance the performance of commercial spectrometers. The product line has grown from the first PIKE Horizontal ATR, which set the industry price/performance standard, to over two thousand products.
