infrared microscope

[¦in·frə¦red ′mī·krə‚skōp]
(optics)
A type of reflecting microscope which uses radiation of wavelengths greater than 700 nanometers and is used to reveal detail in materials that are opaque to light, such as molybdenum, wood, corals, and many red-dyed materials.

Infrared chemical images from the film were collected in transmittance also at 4 [cm.sup.-1] spectral resolution using a 64 by 64 pixel focal-plane array (FPA) detector on the same infrared microscope. The resulting chemical images are shown in Figure 3, where each image represents the integration of absorption bands across the full image.

The Thermo Scientific Nicolet iN10 MX infrared microscope from Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madison, Wisc., does not require any special training in microscopy or spectroscopy or special attachments.
Acquiring spectral data without the headaches
Sample viewing is a significant source of frustration in the operation of an infrared microscope. On the new FTIR microscopes, sample viewing is obtained through color CCD digital video imaging, providing a more comfortable experience with an export option to send the image to a second monitor connected to the personal computer.
