Micro-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
When light or electron microscopy cannot identify an unknown vapor, liquid, or solid due to its organic makeup, micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (micro-FTIR) is a superior analytical technique for attaining an exact identification. Through the use of a light microscope, an infrared spectrophotometer, a mercury cadmium telluride detector, and an extensive on-line software library of organic chemical spectra, this instrument is capable of identifying virtually all types of organic vapors, liquids, and solids. The instrument is a powerful analytical tool for various environmental, biochemical, microchemical, forensic, and textile science applications.
