FTIR microscope/spectrometer: Hyperion3000/Vertex70v

The FTIR instrument at Chalmers Materials Analysis Laboratory is a Bruker Hyperion3000 microscope coupled to a Bruker Vertex70v spectrometer. The confocal microscope allows for diffraction limited IR imaging and selected point measurements, both in reflection and transmission. using the grazing incidence reflection (GIR) objective it is also possible to measure monolayers. The spectrometer can be used separately for bulk measurements, either in transmission or reflection using the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory.
