Instrument Type
Infrared spectroscopy
Application:
Micro-imaging
Typical Use:
Nicolet iN10MX micro-FTIR imaging spectrometer. LN2-cooled MCT array detector used for collection of hyperspectral IR images from 4000-715 cm-1. Uncooled DTGS point detector used for collection of point spectra from 4000-400 cm-1.
Conditions for Use:
- Submitted samples will be analyzed on a contract basis (i.e. lab personnel will do the work)
- Visitors are invited to work in the lab to work with lab personnel
- Visitors are invited to work in the lab to design and do the work yourself
User Fees:
$23/hr for micro-FTIR analysis
Instrument Priorities:
Instrument may be used for, in order of priority, funded research, lab visitors, and student projects.
Remote Use:
Not available.
Sample Preparation:
FTIR images require polished thin or thick sections. FTIR point spectra can be acquired on prepared or unprepared samples.
Standard Collections/Lab Blanks:
Spectra are referenced to a first surface gold mirror.
Software:
Data collected using Omnic Picta software. Hyperspectral image cubes can be exported to ENVI format for detailed statistical analysis.
Educational Use:
Graduate student research projects are invited
Support provided by:
NSF EAR0922927
