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 - The user-swappable detectors and programmable design ensure optimum versatility for any laboratory
- Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ RaptIR™ FTIR Microscope - Basic settings offer research-grade resolution (visible and IR) to examine the sample’s details
Key features of both instruments
- Diffraction-limited objectives 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
- Only for RaptIR+: The laboratory’s capabilities are maximized by a variety of detector options and setups
Intuitive software
The benefits of the Thermo ScientificTM OMNICTM 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
