IRT-7000 FT-IR Microscope

JASCO (USA)

JASCO also offers the IRT-7000, an innovative FT-IR multi-channel microscope accessory with advanced functionality which drastically improves the ability to obtain microspectroscopic data.The IRT-7000 offers two detectors as standard; a 16-channel linear array detector for infrared sample imaging and a single-point MCT detector. The combination of the standard automatic sample stage and "IQ Mapping" function allows mapping analyses of a large sample area, multi-area ATR mapping, and IR imaging of a specific area with extremely high spatial resolution and excellent sensitivity in a short time. With the combination of the FT/IR-6000 and the step scan option, this system offers an advanced capability for dynamic imaging as well as time-resolved measurements of a specific area. For multivariate analysis, the PCA (Principal Component Analysis) software package is standard. Features IQ Mapping for advanced mapping experiments Rapid IR Imaging experiments Up to four objectives and automated switching Exceptional visual observation quality Wide area mapping and multi-ATR imaging Dynamic Imaging with FT-IR step-scan option Multivariate analysis PCA (Principal Component Analysis)
