FTIR micro-spectroscopy is an analytical technique for imaging materials using functional group(s) for sample identification, surface analysis, multilayer film characterization, and particles characterization. Requiring minimal sample size and preparation, measurements can be made without lengthy procedures to manipulate samples or the use of solvents that would create additional laboratory waste. The use of an IR microscope allows the evaluation of small sample areas to provide useful information for quality control in manufacturing, product development, and failure analysis.

This application ebook shows various analysis examples using IR microscope.
