FTIR Microscopes

IRT-5X IR microscope is a comprehensive, versatile and productive system capable of measurement with high optical and spatial resolution. Using this system, many of the functions that are available at the microscopic level can be used to make powerful measurements at the microscopic level. IRT-5X is extremely useful for materials identification and imaging analysis to identify components and their distribution in complex matrices.

IRT-5X offers the enhanced functions: “Observation”, “Measurement” and “Usability”, providing new innovations in micro-IR measurement.

System Features

FTIR Micro-Area Analysis – IQ Mapping

The IRT-5X system features 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.
