mIRage IR Microscope
mIRage changes the field of IR spectroscopy by overcoming its two greatest problems: poor resolution and demanding sample preparation.
With the mIRage IR microscope you can:
- Achieve sub-micron spatial resolution
- Measure thick samples in reflection mode
- Without the contact limitations of ATR
- No dispersive artifacts
Spatial Resolution
Perform IR imaging and spectroscopy with a spatial resolution improvement of over 20x. mIRage uses photothermal IR spectroscopy (PTIR) to acquire transmission quality FTIR spectra, even in reflection mode.
Measure Thick Samples
PTIR also overcomes another key limitation of IR microscopy: the inability to analyse thick samples. Without the contact limitations of ATR, this opens up a whole range of new applications.
This also means that sample preparation is less demanding, so results can be acquired faster, with lower costs.
Breaking the IR Diffraction Limit
mIRage overcomes the IR diffraction limit by combining a pulsed, tunable laser with a proprietary optical technique that measures the sample’s photothermal response. The system is fast and easy to use. Results can be correlated to industry standard FTIR databases.
