(MIR with nanolateral resolution
contact mode)
FT-MIR (transmission, reflection), ATR, IRRAS, DRIFT, FT-MIR-Microscopy
- FTIR spectrometer Vertex 70 [Bruker] hyphenated with FTIR microscope Hyperion 2000 [Bruker] equipped with DLaTGS and MCT detector, Rapid Scan option, various reflection methods (single and multiple ATR, DRIFT, IRRAS), programmable heating cells (for kinetics measurements; [Specac, Harrick]), microscope heating stage, on-line flow-cell for GPC(SEC)-FTIR coupling [AABSPEC].
- FTIR spectrometer Vertex 80v (measurements in vacuo; [Bruker]) in a combination with both intergrating sphere [Bruker] and single reflection ATR-Golden Gate unit (room temperature and heated; [Specac]).
- Automatic spectra search in spectral data bases (Hummel polymer spectra library; Bruker-Merck spectra polymer library; Industrial Polymers library; ATR-Complete library etc).
- ATR-IR reaction analysis system REACT-IR4000 [Mettler-Toledo], MCT detector, Si- and Diamond probes for in-situ measurements
