Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopy is an analytical technique used to analyze the infrared spectra of materials at the microscopic level. The technique is based on the principle of interferometry, in which two beams of infrared light are combined to form an interference pattern.
By analyzing the interference pattern, the composition and structure of materials can be determined. FTIR microscopy is used to study the composition of small samples ranging from tissue samples to semiconductor chips. It is also used to study the structure of materials, such as polymers, proteins, and minerals.
FTIR microscopy combines an FTIR spectrometer with a microscope. The FTIR spectrometer is used to measure the infrared spectra of the sample, while the microscope is used to spatially resolve the sample. The microscope may be equipped with an imaging system to allow for the visualization of the sample. FTIR microscopy is a powerful analytical tool that can be used to identify and quantify materials in a sample, as well as to study their structure and morphology.
FTIR microscopy is widely used in a variety of applications, including materials science, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry. It is used to study the composition of polymers, proteins, and minerals, to identify and quantify trace elements, and to study the structure of materials.
In addition, FTIR microscopy can be used to study the morphology of samples, such as grain size, porosity, and surface topography. FTIR microscopy is also used to study the thermal properties of materials, such as melting points, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion.
The Global FTIR Microscope Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Bruker introduced the groundbreaking LUMOS II standalone FTIR imaging microscope, which uses focal-plane array (FPA) detectors to provide ultrafast FTIR imaging. Its functions include particle identification, contamination and coating determination, and polymeric composition disclosure.
It is designed for use in forensics, polymers, pharmaceutical, chemical, and electrical industries for quality control and failure analysis. Transmission, reflection, and attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR measurements are all recorded by the LUMOS II.
It has an actively cooled MCT detector by default, which does away with the requirement for liquid nitrogen. There is room for up to three separate detectors in the LUMOS II. The optimal imaging and spectral performance are combined with user-friendliness in the LUMOS II microscope.
Complete automation in all modes is made possible by the integrated motorized ATR crystal in the goal. Every user has a simple approach to get quick results because of the user-friendly UI. The Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards are met by the LUMOS II. Complying with cGMP/GMP, US, Ch P, JP and Ph. Eur., as well as 21 CFR Part11, there are verification alternatives accessible.
On the customer’s site, most options can be updated. Upgradeable systems can be transformed into fast imaging microscopes. Originally designed for casual use. The LUMOS II is resistant to moisture due to its sealed ZnSe optics.
The Nicolet Rapt IR FTIR Microscope from Therma Fisher Scientific Inc. was introduced. It allows users with different levels of experience to find areas of interest fast, gather infrared and visual data with high spatial resolution, and produce correct findings quickly and with little effort.
With the use of this next-generation Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy microscope, researchers will be able to quickly discover and identify inclusions, microparticles, and other materials, as well as how these materials are distributed inside a sample.
The microscope’s huge working surface and heavy-duty stage enable it to examine a variety of samples up to 5 kg in weight and 4 centimeters in thickness. Thousands of particles on a 1cm2 filter may be swiftly and effectively identified due to enhanced automation.
