FTIR Imaging Microscope
LUMOS II
Equipped with a high-sensitivity TE-MCT detector. Capable of performing FTIR imaging in ATR, transmission, and reflection modes. It can conveniently handle samples up to 40 mm in thickness and acquire more than 550 spectra per second at a spectral resolution of 4 cm⁻¹.
Analysis Examples
- Identification and characterization of polymer materials, including determination of polymer blends and detection of additives or contaminants.
- Analysis of pharmaceutical compounds to ensure proper formulation, identify contaminants, and verify the chemical composition of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
- Examination of trace evidence such as fibers, paints, and residues to support criminal investigations and legal proceedings.
- Analysis of coatings, films, and surface treatments to evaluate their composition, uniformity, and adherence.
- Analysis of automotive parts and materials, including identification of polymers, composites, and surface contaminants.
- Characterization of electronic components, including the identification of materials used in semiconductors, printed circuit boards, and other electronic devices.
- Identification of minerals and characterization of geological samples to understand their composition and formation processes.
