FTIR Linear Array Imaging Microscope
The IRT-7000 is a very fast FTIR Linear Array Imaging Microscope that can be interfaced with a FT/IR-6X or 8X Series FTIR spectrometer, offering the most advanced microscopy and imaging system. The 16-element MCT offers a faster response with excellent signal-to-noise and a wider wavelength range than a focal plane array detector. The data processing is done using onboard computing so that there is no delay in data being delivered to the imaging software. Mapping and imaging are done in real-time, so that you can see the chemical distribution as the sample is measured,
System Description
The IRT-7000 includes up to two detectors as standard; a 16-channel linear array detector for fast sample imaging and a single-point MCT detector (with a wider spectral range and enhanced sensitivity. The combination of the automatic sample stage and IQ Mapping offers high-speed mapping analyses over a very large sample area, multi-area ATR mapping, and IR imaging with a spatial resolution close to the diffraction limit with excellent sensitivity in a short time. In combination with the FT/IR-6X/8X with Rapid Scan or Step Scan options, this system offers advanced dynamic imaging as well as time-resolved measurements. For multivariate analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is included as standard.

Spectra Manager Imaging Suite – Micro Analysis Measurement Program
Spectra Manager™ provides automatic functions and simplified operations to minimize manual operation. Measurement conditions, microscope sample monitoring/control and measurement results can be viewed on a single screen. The microscope control interface includes various types of measurements such as single and multi-point, mapping, and linear array measurements using a single mouse-click for mode selection. Real-time monitoring of the spectrum and a calculated chemical image can be specified during the mapping measurement.
Innovative ATR Mapping with Clear View and IQ Mapping
The Clear-View ATR objectives enable simultaneous sample viewing while preparing for ATR measurement and as the ATR crystal element contacts the sample. IQ Mapping can be used for automatic multi-point mapping, line mapping, grid mapping and IR Imaging analysis of a microscopic area even with a manual sample stage and a single-element detector.
IQ Mapping coupled with a Clear-View ATR objective allows ATR mapping and ATR Imaging of any sample in contact with the ATR objective without moving the sample stage or ATR objective while observing the entire area of the sample in contact with the crystal. This provides high-speed and cross-contaminant-free measurements of a small sampling area.
Full-Vacuum System
For FTIR measurement, absorption peaks due to atmospheric water vapor and CO2 can make it difficult to obtain high-quality sample spectra. The most effective solution to this problem is the measurement of samples in a vacuum. As a factory option, a vacuum-type FTIR microscope system can be provided.
