FTIR Microscopes Details

FTIR Micro-Area Analysis – IQ Mapping

The IRT-5000 and IRT-7000 series of FTIR microscope systems feature a unique and  innovative function for sample analysis – IQ Mapping. This  enables automated multi-point mapping, line mapping and IR imaging analyses of a microscopic area with a manual or auto- sample stage and a single element detector. Using a scan mirror the microscope moves the incident light to  specified points, rapidly collecting a full spectrum at each position without moving the sample stage. IQ Mapping can be used to measure and image an area up to 400 x 400 µm using a 16× Cassegrain objective. The combination of IQ Mapping with the automated XYZ stage allows fast mapping and imaging of a wide area.

Sampling Flexibility

A wide range of data acquisition modes provides the best solution for almost any type of sample and application.

Exceptional Visual Observation Clarity

All microscopes are equipped with a high-resolution CMOS video camera with a 3× optical zoom , for higher clarity sample observation than digital zoom. Digital zoom is also included for sample visualization at increased magnification.

Spectra Manager™ Suite

Spectra Manager™ provides convenient, and automated functions with simplified operational procedures to minimize manual operations. Powerful data processing functions include 2D and/or 3D imaging of chemical information with many standard functions for data processing of spectral data.
