FTIR / IR-microscope

IR imaging mode:

The IR Imaging system has three different modes:

  • Point mode (Picture and high quality IR scan in a single point)
  • Image mode (Picture and IR scans over an area)
  • ATR image mode (High quality IR scans over an area)

FTIR mode:

  • The instrument uses MIR technology
  • The detector is MIR TGS
  • To the instrument is a Red Golden Gate setup accessory unit installed from Graseby Specac LTD (Kent, England)
  • The Golden Gate is equipped with a single reflection ATR setup (ATR: attenuated total reflection)

Real-time FTIR mode:

  • The instrument uses MIR technology
  • The detector is MIR TGS
  • To the instrument is a Red Golden Gate setup accessory unit installed from Graseby Specac LTD (Kent, England)
  • The Golden Gate is equipped with a single reflection ATR setup (ATR: attenuated total reflection)

For initiating reaction:

  • If you intend to follow curing reaction of a resin into a thermoset please make a test reaction on glas substrate first and advise with the instrument responsible person
  • Temperature controller may be used to initiate reaction however if you plan to use it over 150C please advise with instrument responsible person first
  • UV-initiated: you can use the hammamatsu UV lamp as instructed by instrument responsible person
