Operation of a Thermo FTIR Imaging Microscope (Nicolet iN10 MX)

The Thermo Scientific Nicolet iN10 MX is an infrared imaging microscope that offers the ability to rapidly acquire microscopic images and simultaneously collect infrared spectra of solid specimens. It allows analysis of the distribution of chemicals within a sample through both point based analysis and comprehensive spectral mapping. The microscope is equipped with a cooled MCT detector which facilitates ultra-fast imaging and spectral mapping of large areas within minutes. Additional attachments include a MicroTip ATR for contact sampling, nitrogen flow chamber, and a motorized stage. This instrument is ideal for the analysis of coatings, contaminant identification, and the mapping of chemicals in printed media.
