FTIR Microscope

General Description:

The LUMOS is a fully automated stand-alone mid-IR microscope facilitating the measurement of both macroscopic and microscopic samples in transmission, reflection or attenuated total reflection (ATR). Applications include e.g. the identification of particles, contaminations and coatings as well as the determination of the chemical composition of complex samples. The instrument enables point analysis as well as highly resolved 2D maps. In addition, the instrument features a MACRO unit with various accessories for bulk analysis.
