FTIR

FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) microscopes are specialized instruments used in laboratories to analyze the chemical composition of microscopic samples. These microscopes combine infrared spectroscopy with high-resolution microscopy, allowing for the identification of materials based on their infrared absorption spectra. FTIR microscopes are particularly valuable in fields such as materials science, forensics, and pharmaceuticals, where understanding the molecular structure and composition of small sample areas is crucial. They offer non-destructive analysis, making them ideal for studying sensitive or limited samples.
