Jasco released two new FT-IR Microscope accessories, the IRT-5000 and IRT-7000, which can be easily interfaced with either the companys FT/IR-4000 or FT/IR-6000 spectrometers. These microscopes feature innovative functions such as Smart Mapping, newly developed for infrared micro analysis and IR imaging. The IRT-5000 is an FT-IR microscope system featuring dual detector capability and multiple objectives with excellent signal to noise ratio. The IRT-7000 is a multi-channel IR microscope for IR imaging, and with the combination of the FT/IR-6000 and step scan option offers an advanced capability for dynamic imaging as well as time-resolved measurements of a specific area. In addition to high-performance and ease-of-use operations, both microscopes feature a Smart Mapping function as standard, which enables mapping analyses of a limited area without the use of an automated sample stage.
