The present invention provides a non-magnetic insertion probe for performing spectroscopic experiments in a temperature range from 2 K to 400 K, with a spectral range from 200 to 1300 nm. The probe can work under high vacuum, under gas stream, and under high magnetic fields (> 10 T) and is useful for measurement of solid samples. It can be used in single radiation transmission mode to avoid problems of radiation back scattering. The light beam inside and outside the probe is guided by fiber optic guides. The invention comprises three main parts: an optic rod, an experimental space sealer, and a sample holder. Optic fibers guide the light through the sample space in and out of the sample holder. At least one guide is bent such that light reverses direction towards the exterior, before or after passing through the sample. Optionally, both fiber guides can be bent. The fibers enter the experimental space through the sealer and optic rod. The sealer maintains the experimental space isolated from the exterior, preventing any leakage. The optic rod guides the fibers in the direction of the sample holder and can be constructed at variable length. Further advantageous embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
