Contaminant analysis using FTIR microscopy
May 7, 2024
Introduction
IRT-3000 Research-grade FTIR Microscope

The IRT-3000 is an FTIR microscope capable of measurement at a spatial resolution of several microns with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio with simultaneously observation of the sample image.. The fully automated X-Y-Z stage can be used for either mapping or multi-point measurements. In addition to transmittance and reflectance measurements, optional ATR and grazing-angle reflection objectives expands the types of measurement that can be made. The figures below illustrate contaminant analyses, fish-eyes in a polymer film and a contaminant (5 microns) on the surface of an optical element.
