Bruker LUMOS FTIR Microscope
The Bruker LUMOS is a fully automated stand-alone FTIR microscope with an 8x objective and can be used in transmission, reflection and ATR mode. The measurement results in one file including visible images, spectral data and sample information. For evaluation and visualisation of the microscopic data, the software offers powerful and intuitive Chemical Imaging functionality.
The LUMOS is a stand-alone FT-IR microscope with an integrated FT-IR spectrometer that is perfectly matched to the optical design. All components are motorised and electronically coded. The innovation of a motorised ATR crystal allows the system to switch from transmission or reflection to ATR mode without operator intervention, and to measure fully automated sample and background spectra even in ATR mode. The heart of any FT-IR spectrometer is the interferometer. LUMOS uses a patented, permanently aligned RockSolid interferometer that is extremely insensitive to mirror tilts, vibrations and thermal effects.
