Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR - RAMAN)

Brand / Model: Thermo Scientific / Nicolet IS50

The Thermo Scientific / Nicolet IS10 provides easy access to dual source and triple detector optical, multiple on-board digitizer and spectrometer data and control signals. It has the capacity to perform advanced continuous scanning, step scanning and dual channel applications. The Vectra series interferometer offers very good mirror position accuracy. The moving mirror precise positioning is critical in determining the final signal-to-noise ratio for experiments. Unlike conventional air-bearing and mechanical interferometers, the Dynamic adjustment interferometer is virtually insensitive to laboratory vibration and acoustic noise, making it the ideal choice for the most sensitive and extremely demanding step-scanning experiments. It supports amplitude modulation and time dependent step scanning spectroscopy.
