This document presents a case study on the application of Agilent's 610 FTIR Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopes for material analysis. It highlights the ability of the microscopes to characterize the spatial distribution of components and identify the chemical nature of a sample. The document also discusses the various measurement modes and the added capability of automated infrared mapping analysis with a motorized sample stage.
This document describes a case study using the Agilent Cary 610 FTIR microscope to analyze a multi-layer paint sample. The study highlights the instrument's ability to perform automated infrared mapping, acquiring hundreds of spectra from spatially resolved points to characterize chemical heterogeneity within the sample.
