Description
The Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope is available in two models to assist users in analytical labs where details are critical—answers in minutes and microns.
- Thermo Scientific Nicolet RaptIR+ FTIR Microscope: User-swappable detectors and a configurable design provide maximum flexibility for any laboratory
- Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ RaptIR™ FTIR Microscope: Simpler configurations offer basic capabilities while also providing research-grade resolution (visible and infrared) to help users understand the sample’s complexities
Key Features of Both Instruments
- Diffraction-limited goals have excellent visual and infrared performance
- Multi-position automated nosepiece, autofocus, auto lighting, and full-view computer-controlled aperture provide maximum comfort and convenience of use
- To obtain high-quality, high-resolution images and spectra of the material, use a 5MPix camera or eyepieces with visual spatial resolution of 1 micron and infrared spatial resolution of greater than 5 microns
- Reflectance, transmission, and ATR sampling modes with automated exchange offer adaptability, with built-in ATR sensors protecting the samples and delicate pressure control
- Open-access, heavy-duty stage can hold samples up to 40 millimeters thick and 5 kilograms in weight
- Fast results with mapping of up to 10 spectra/second
- For RaptIR+ only: Multiple detector options and setups increase the laboratory's capabilities
Intuitive Software
The benefits of the Thermo Scientific™ OMNIC™ Paradigm Software enhance the cutting-edge hardware features of the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscopes.
- Paradigm gives users detailed instructions on how to retrieve the information they need from the target.
- The software features a 64-bit system, a floating toolbar, database security, an intuitive user interface (UI), and readily created workflows to automate data collecting and analysis procedures.
- Additionally, Paradigm makes it simple to switch out the detectors and utilize all of the spectrometer's features, such as TGA-IR, GC-IR, and FT-Raman.
