FT-IR microscopic identification of fibers
July 12, 2012 5:25 am White PapersCharacterization of the chemical composition of fibers is of high importance in both forensic science and the textile industry. As demonstrated by Bruker Optics in a recent white paper, the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging capabilities of the LUMOS microscope, which require minimal sample preparation, are suitable for this type of analysis.
Analysis of contaminations on a plastic part using the FT-IR microscope LUMOS
July 12, 2012 5:06 am White PapersBruker’s LUMOS microscope is equipped with a motorized attenuated total reflectance (ATR) germanium objective that is highly suitable for analysis of dark samples without the need for preparation. In this white paper from Bruker Optics, the analysis of dark streaks on a polycarbonate sample is simplified through the use of automation procedures.
Analysis of micro samples using the standalone FT-IR microscope LUMOS
July 12, 2012 4:39 am White PapersAs electronic devices get smaller, they are becoming more vulnerable to contamination through the presence of impurities. Using a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microscope such as Bruker Optics’ LUMOS, contaminations in the low micrometer range can be identified. In this white paper, Bruker demonstrates how FT-IR can be used to determine surface contamination on the soldering contact of a surface mounted device.
