Nicolet RaptIR Microscope — Built on 30+ Years of Excellence

Speaker: Matt Bartucci, Senior Applications Specialist
Duration: 27 minutes

The new, state-of-the-art Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope has all the benefits that over 30 years of development experience can provide. Much like a bird of prey circling an area of interest before homing in on a specific target, the research-grade Nicolet RaptIR Microscope takes a similar multivariate approach with its enhanced automation controls, superior visuals, and a user interface that researchers and novices can both use with ease.

In this talk, we'll be discussing how the IR microscope's improved features, including a clean new interface, can help you expedite your laboratory workflow while also ensuring confidence in your spectroscopic results.

Automated Microparticle Analysis by FTIR Microscopy

Speaker: Ron Rubinovitz, Senior Applications Specialist
Duration: 30 minutes

The identification of particles by FTIR microscopy is a key application across many industries. However, evaluating many particles on a surface was a time-consuming and difficult task until the advent of automated particle analysis with the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope. Simplified, quick analysis of particles through automation can benefit users in pharmaceutical and environmental labs. It can drive efficiency anywhere that users need to characterize large numbers of small particles.

In this talk, we highlight the features and functions of the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope that enable automated particle analysis. Topics covered include the ease of measuring multiple particles with automation as well as rapid identification and dimensional characterization of individual particles.

Failure Analysis with FTIR Microscopy

Speaker: Jaspreet Singh, Applications Specialist
Duration: 25 minutes

Failure analysis is all about finding the root cause of a problem. You look over equipment, processes, and products for any sign of an issue, including functional failures which can involve chemical or physical mechanisms or contamination. Rapid, non-destructive analysis by FTIR spectroscopy can add a lot of value to such a multidisciplinary investigation.

This talk will cover how the Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope can contribute to failure analysis investigations. Both advanced researchers and novice spectroscopists alike can take advantage of the new, state-of-the-art Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope in failure analyses. Enhanced automation controls, superior visuals, and intuitive user interface make this instrument a must-have in any investigative toolkit.

Analysis of Micro Layers with FTIR Microscopy

Speaker: Andrew Schmitz, Application Scientist
Duration: 23 minutes

For many products, what’s underneath the surface can make the difference between success and failure. Materials such as food packaging, flooring, and automotive paint consist of multiple layers with different chemical compositions that are less than 100 microns in thickness. Each layer has its purpose—from maintaining freshness to preventing environmental damage and even quality control. The Nicolet RaptIR FTIR Microscope provides simplified, non-destructive analysis of micro layers. Its powerful capabilities can benefit applications of all types, such as reverse engineering, improvement of synthetic goods, and forensics, to name a few.

In this talk, we’ll look at the advantages of using the Nicolet RaptIR Microscope to identify and map out micro layers. Topics covered will include how to generate different area and line maps, set up chemical profiles, and overlay profiles on a video image for comparison.
