The innovative IRT-5000/7000 Series FTIR Microscopes provide new functions that dramatically improve infrared micro-spectroscopy analyses. These FTIR microscope systems are used together with the FT/IR-4X, 6X and 8X spectrometers, offering the most advanced microscopy and imaging systems. Coupling JASCO’s proven technology for infrared spectroscopy with the most advanced optical design, the IRT-5000/7000 Series offer an ideal solution for the most challenging sample analyses.
FTIR Micro-Area Analysis – IQ Mapping
The IRT-5000 and IRT-7000 series of FTIR microscope systems feature a unique and innovative function for sample analysis – IQ Mapping. This enables automated multi-point mapping, line mapping and IR imaging analyses of a microscopic area with a manual or auto- sample stage and a single element detector. Using a scan mirror the microscope moves the incident light to specified points, rapidly collecting a full spectrum at each position without moving the sample stage. IQ Mapping can be used to measure and image an area up to 400 x 400 µm using a 16× Cassegrain objective. The combination of IQ Mapping with the automated XYZ stage allows fast mapping and imaging of a wide area
IRT-5000/7000 Series
The IRT Series of FTIR microscopes can be easily paired with FT/IR-4X, FT/IR-6X and FTIR-8X models, to create systems for materials identification and sample imaging.
The IRT-5000 and IRT-7000 microscopes are permanently aligned with an external optical port for automatic switching between measurement modes without optical alignment.
All models can be used for transmission, reflectance and ATR sample measurement, with a choice of manual or automatic XYZ stages.
