Fourier Transform Infrared Microscope (FTIR microscope)

The Bruker Lumos II is an FTIR imaging microscope with high performance in any measurement mode (transmission, reflection or ATR) and comprises three detectors: a liquid nitrogen cooled MCT detector, a thermoelectrically cooled MCT detector and a FPA detector ('Focal Plane Array'). The device enables samples of different sizes to be analysed and also allows larger samples to be placed directly on the stage. The instrument enables a variety of applications such as the analysis and identification of coatings, microplastics and various other polymers, applications in art and cultural heritage, in the pharmaceutical industry, in tissue imaging and in the analysis of diamonds and other stones.
