Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) Spectrometer

In our lab we use a FTIR-spectrometer Vertex 80v manufactured by Bruker. It is equipped with various light sources, beamsplitters and detectors to operate from 25.000 cm^-1 to 80 cm^-1. The maximum resolution is 0.25 cm^-1.

 

An attached IR-microscope (Bruker Hyperion 1000) provides the possibility to perform unpolarised and polarised measurements on single crystals in the energy range of 25000 cm^-1 to 420 cm^-1 with a local resolution of 20 µm.
