Infrared Microscope
The new AIMsight Infrared Microscope is designed to significantly enhance defect analysis efficiency through fully automated measurements. This instrument effortlessly measures micro-targets by irradiating them with infrared rays and analyzing both reflectance and transmittance. With its wide-field camera, it automatically determines the measurement range, identifies targets, sets measurement positions, and conducts analysis through a contaminant analysis program, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly experience.
In line with environmental concerns, the AIMsight is equipped with a T2SL (Type II Super-Lattice) detector, which avoids the use of harmful substances like mercury and cadmium, as per the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive. This quantum infrared detector, a next-generation sensor, is renowned for its high sensitivity and is perfect for applications like trace contaminant analysis and quality control across industries such as chemistry, electronics, machinery, and transportation. Furthermore, the AIMsight plays a crucial role in research on microplastics, tiny plastic particles that pose environmental challenges.
The AIMsight Infrared Microscope operates seamlessly when connected to a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. By utilizing the reflection and transmission of infrared light, it can measure micro-regions that standard FTIR units cannot. This makes it an invaluable tool for analyzing and identifying micro-contaminants, such as residues on pharmaceutical tablets, dirt on electronic circuit boards, and microplastics. With the increasing demand for infrared microscope measurements, there is a growing need for a quick, easy, and reliable solution to measure small targets with high sensitivity, even for analysts with minimal experience.
