Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope

The Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope's adaptable design is suitable for scientists across all industries and skill levels. It has been engineered with the latest technology to ensure you get sharp images and rapid, accurate analysis at every step of your workflow.

Versatility allows you to analyze across a wide range of applications such as:

• Basic analysis—Work to identify contamination in production materials to find the origin of embedded particles.
• Pharmaceuticals—Collect high-quality IR data over an entire tablet to validate distribution/layering of a time-release dosage.
• Environment—Examine a dense microplastic sample with a wide field of view, then target a specific particle with automated visible and IR features.
• Art restoration—Validate the source of materials in a painting or ancient text to gain insights into provenance and plan preservation activities.
• Forensics—Work to identify paints, inks, dyes, biomaterials in cloth, fibers, or paper to provide evidence of fraud, examine suspected documents, or link trace evidence from various sources.

Thermo Scientific OMNIC Paradigm Software allows you to swiftly navigate and analyze complex samples. It employs a database format for collecting data, utilizes the full power of the Windows 10 operating system, and collects impressively large maps to enable you to collect multiple regions of interest.
