THERMO SCIENTIFIC NICOLET CONTINUUM FT-IR MICROSCOPE

The Thermo Scientific Nicolet Continuµm FT-IR Microscope is a versatile, high-performance infrared microscope designed for fast, accurate micro-spectroscopy. It features automated dual-reflex apertures, infinity-corrected optics (15x/32x), and comprehensive sampling modes—transmission, reflection, and Micro-ATR—making it ideal for forensics, pharmaceuticals, failure analysis, and contaminants.
Key Features and Specifications:
  • Optics & Performance: Utilizes Reflachromat optics with proprietary spherical aberration compensation, providing high-fidelity visual and infrared images.
  • Automation: Features a motorized stage and automated dual reflex aperture for precise, easy, and fast sample mapping.
  • Sampling Flexibility: Includes Slide-On ATR Objectives (diamond, germanium, Si, ZnSe) for quick in-situ chemical imaging of materials down to microns in size.
  • Imaging & Software: Uses a CCD color digital camera with OMNIC software to provide high-resolution, simultaneous video, and spectral acquisition.
  • Upgradability: Configurable from basic to fully automated systems with optional polarizers, and dual detector capabilities.
Typical Applications:
  • Failure Analysis: Identifying contaminants in electronics.
  • Forensics: Analyzing fibers, inks, and trace evidence.
  • Material Science: Characterizing polymers and microplastics.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring product consistency and testing for impurities.
