Submicron IR spectroscopy and imaging with IR Microscope

The field of IR Spectroscopy just changed!

An innovative new system a IR microscope with 0.5µm spatial resolution uniquely providing submicron IR spectroscopy and imaging across a wide variety of applications.

Based upon photothermal IR spectroscopy (PTIR), mIRage breaks the diffraction limit and bridges the gap between conventional IR microspectroscopy and nanoscale IR spectroscopy. The mIRage™ IR microscope is an optical non-contact technique with 0.5µm IR spectroscopy and imaging. Using PTIR eliminates another longstanding limitation for IR microscopy, namely the inability to work on thick samples. Mirage allows IR spectroscopy of surfaces without the contact limitations of ATR. The Mirage obtains IR spectroscopy of surfaces on thick samples in a non-contact way. It enables faster time to data, and cost of ownership improvements while providing correlation to industry standard FTIR databases.
