FTIR Spectroscope with Microscope (Digilab,
UMA 600)
Important
Features
The advanced optical design eliminates stray light and the
need for redundant aperturing
Samples can be viewed by both binocular and video modes
Infinity corrected, all reflecting optics without the need for
dichroics provides the ultimate in detectability and throughput
Dual detector capability equips the microscope with two single
point detectors, an array and a single point detector or dual
focal plane arrays, to minimize the "down time" of detector
changes
Zoom capability in both visible and IR gives the flexibility
to use higher magnification if necessary without physically
changing the objective
A motorized aperture gives precise control from either the
computer or the microscope and enhances the ease of use
Auto focus in both the infrared for sample analysis and in the
visible for video camera assures that the picture you see or the
data you acquire are optimal
Automated multi point analysis (AMPA) allows unattended
analysis of many points on the same samples or many samples on
the sample holder
* For more
information, contact Dr. Zhorro Nikolov
* Billing Rate: University Internal ($25/hour unassisted,
$45/hour assisted), University External ($30/hour unassisted,
$55/hour assisted). Unassisted work is possible only after a
training course. Equipment
