SearchNew FTIR microscope at CPI
CPI was able to enhance its surface analytical capabilities with the addition of a FTIR microscope to the existing Excalibur spectroscope. The instrument (Varian UMA 600) is able to take spectra from spots down to about 20 µm in size. We will use it for the investigation of microstructures on surfaces, e.g. of patterned polymer layers. Other applications are the spatially resolved determination of contaminants.
We are happy that we are now able to gather compositional and even structural data from surfaces for samples that are not suited for our XPS. Here are some pictures of the new instrument:
