The Bruker LUMOS FTIR spatially maps absorption in the infrared spectrum
The Bruker LUMOS is a compact solution for FTIR microscopy and imaging
Specifications
- Capable of FTIR and ATR measurements
- Fully automates measurements in transmission, reflection and ATR mode
- Large working distance
- Suitable for biological tissues
Access
The inVia Raman microscope can be operated by researchers or on a fee for service basis by MCFP platform staff. Trained users can book through the MCFP's iLab booking system. Please contact Anders or Paul below to arrange access or training.
Sample Preparation
Many samples can be analysed as they are with care needing to be taken for cleanliness of the instrument and ensuring no contamination.
