Overview
Infrared and Raman microscope combining FTIR and Raman spectroscopy to provide complementary molecular information. Automated system enables sequential FTIR and Raman measurements at the same sample location without moving the sample, streamlining workflows from sample observation to data analysis.

Examples of Problems Solved

• Contaminant components cannot be identified with an infrared microscope alone: the contaminant was identified based on both infrared and Raman measurements.
• Need to measure the same sample location with both infrared and Raman: the system enables rapid measurement of the same location without moving the sample.
• Target area too small for infrared measurement alone: Raman allows targeting and measuring smaller areas.
• Detailed analysis of both organic and inorganic components is required: combining FTIR and Raman enables comprehensive material analysis.

Features

• FTIR and Raman spectra can be measured without moving the sample.
• Unified software for measurement and analysis of both FTIR and Raman spectra.
• Provides both organic and inorganic material information with one instrument.
