System Description
JASCO offers two innovative FT-IR Microscope accessories, the IRT-5000 and IRT-7000, providing several new functions that drastically improve infrared microspectroscopy analyses. Both microscope systems can be easily interfaced with either the FT/IR-4000 or FT/IR-6000 spectrometer, offering the most advanced microscopy and imaging systems available in the market today. Coupling JASCO's proven technology for infrared spectroscopy (accumulated over 50 years) and with the most advanced optical design, the IRT-5000 and 7000 offer the best solution for even the most challenging sample analyses.

FT-IR Micro-Area Analysis - IQ Mapping
JASCO's new FT-IR microscope systems feature an innovative capability for sample analysis, "IQ Mapping". This function enables automated multi-point mapping, line mapping and IR Imaging analyses of a microscopic area with a manual sample stage and a single element detector. The microscope system automatically scans the specified points or area, rapidly collecting a full spectrum of each point without moving the sample stage. The IQ Mapping function can provide a measurement of a maximum area of 400 µm square using the 16× Cassegrain objective. The combination of IQ Mapping with the automated XYZ stage provides a wide area analysis capability.
