Thermo Nicolet FTIR FT-IR NIC-PLAN IR Microscope Used
Model/Part No:NIC-PLAN Our Item ID: 5461
Thermo Nicolet FTIR FT-IR NIC-PLAN IR Microscope. We do not know much about this unit, so please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. I do know that this unit does not have a laser and the view button doesn't seem to be getting any power. Objectives: (1) Olympus D-Plan 10 (.25, 160 0.17) (1) Reflachromat 32x (142/V N.A. 0.65)
The Nic-Plan IR Microscope is an excellent sampling method for many types of samples that allows the acquisition of IR spectra not able to be obtained by any other technique. The IR Microscope has its own dedicated liquid nitrogen cooled MCT-A detector and covers a spectral range for 4000-650 cm-1.
The IR Microscope has several sampling options:
* Transmission spectra of samples formed as optically thin films on a diamond anvil cell
* Reflectance spectra of optically thin films on a reflective substrate
* Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectra of solid surfaces and liquids using Ge and ZnSe micro ATR crystals
The most useful feature of this microscope methodology is the capability to analyze small samples. The practical minimum spatial resolution for transmission and reflectance spectra is ca. 20-25 microns. With certain samples and conditions, better spatial resolution can be obtained. The practical ATR analysis spot size is 50-100 microns depending upon the sample.
The analyst is aided in the identification of unknown materials by an on-site library of reference spectra in excess of searchable 50,000 spectra with access to online commercial spectral databases. In most cases, the analyst must rely on his/her expertise to develop an accurate interpretation of the IR spectrum.
This versatile instrumentation can be used for analyses of many different materials and products which cover a wide range of applications; including the following:
* Deformulation of complex industrial and consumer specialty chemical products
* Identification of unknown organic and inorganic materials
* Identification of contaminants in-process and finished parts
* QC methods to accept raw materials, finished goods and monitor chemical processes
* Determine the extent of a chemical reaction and identify reaction products
* Characterize chemical surface modifications of polymers and powders
* Help locate the locus of failure in adhesive bond failure
* Identify individual layers in co-extruded and multilayer polymer film constructions
* Identify lubricants on metal surfaces
* Quantify the level of curing agents in epoxy coating solution
