Non contact submicron resolution infrared Raman synchronous measurement system

Non contact submicron resolution infrared Raman synchronous measurement system - mIRage (materials field)
A groundbreaking new infrared spectroscopy system!

MIRage is a widely used non-contact submicron resolution infrared Raman synchronous measurement system. Based on PSC photothermal induced resonance (PTIR) technology, the mIRage micro infrared spectrometer breaks through the optical diffraction limit of traditional infrared, and its spatial resolution can reach sub micron level, which can help researchers more comprehensively understand the chemical information of small areas on the surface of samples at the sub micron scale.

O-PTIR (Optical Photothermal Infrared) spectroscopy is a fast and simple non-contact optical technique that overcomes the limitations of traditional IR diffraction. Unlike traditional FTIR, it does not rely on residual IR radiation analysis, but reflects the chemical information of small sample areas by detecting rapid photothermal expansion or contraction on the sample surface caused by intrinsic infrared absorption.
MIRage overcomes many shortcomings of traditional infrared spectroscopy:
The spatial resolution is limited by the wavelength of infrared light, only 10-20 µ m
Transmission mode requires a complex sample preparation process and is limited to thin slice samples
Scattering aberration and contact pollution in non-traditional ATR infrared mode

The advantages of mIRage are:
Submicron spatially resolved IR spectroscopy and imaging, independent of IR wavelength
• Spectral effect in reflection mode comparable to transmission mode
Non contact measurement mode - simple and fast to use, with no risk of cross contamination
• Few or no sample preparation processes are required (no thin sections are required), and thick samples can be tested

Observing liquid samples in transmissible mode

• Realize simultaneous and same resolution IR and Raman testing with no fluorescence risk in the same location
