mIRage - Model IR -Submicron Microscope
The mIRage IR Microscope is an innovative new system uniquely providing sub-micron IR spectroscopy and imaging across a wide variety of applications. Using a proprietary technique based upon Optical Photothermal IR (O-PTIR) spectroscopy, mIRage breaks the diffraction limit of traditional IR spectroscopy and bridges the gap between conventional IR microspectroscopy and nanoscale IR spectroscopy.
A fast and easy to use non-contact submicron optical spectroscopy
mIRage overcomes the IR diffraction limit with an innovative technique, Optical Photothermal Infrared (O-PTIR) spectroscopy.
A tunable pulsed mid-IR laser induces photothermal effects into a sample surface, which are measured using a visible probe laser focused on the sample. The measurements are collected in a fast, easy to use manner without the need for contact-based techniques like ATR spectroscopy.
Transmission FTIR quality spectra in reflection mode
mIRage provides IR spectroscopy and chemical imaging, independent of IR wavelength. Using O-PTIR, highly sensitive IR measurements are enabled, providing transmission quality absorption without surface contact. This eliminates the need for thin samples and improves turnaround times.
mIRage provides unique, first and only data covering a wide range of applications including polymeric and non-polymeric materials, life science, complex pharmaceutical samples and micro-electronics contamination.
