Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ RaptIR™ FTIR Microscope

Key features of the instrument:

• Diffraction-limited objectives provide outstanding visual and infrared performance.
• Multi-position automated nosepiece, autofocus, auto illumination and full-view computer-controlled aperture for ultimate comfort and efficient ease of use.
• Visual spatial resolution at 1 micron and infrared spatial resolution at better than 5 microns to obtain high-quality, high-resolution spectra of your sample.
• Reflectance, transmission, and ATR sampling modes with automated exchange provide versatility, while a built-in ATR pressure sensor automatically tells you when there is ATR contact.
• Open-access, heavy-duty stage to accommodate samples up to 40 millimeters thick and 5 kilograms in weight.
• Fast results with mapping of up to 10 spectra/second.

Intuitive software

• The innovative hardware features of the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope are complemented by the advantages of the Thermo Scientific™ OMNIC™ Paradigm Desktop Software. It provides users with clear guidance on how to extract information needed from the target. The software boasts a clean, adaptive user interface (UI), database security, floating tool bar, 64-bit system, and easily generated workflows to automate data collection and analysis sequences.
