FTIR microscopy has generally been reserved for measuring specified samples such as small contaminants on polymer films or micro samples transferred to infrared transparent windows. The innovative IRT-5000/7000 Series FTIR Microscopes provide new functions that dramatically improve infrared micro-spectroscopy analyses. These FTIR microscope systems are used together with the FT/IR-4X and FT/IR-6X Series spectrometers, offering the most advanced microscopy and imaging systems.
Coupling JASCO’s proven technology for infrared spectroscopy with the most advanced optical design, the IRT-5000/7000 Series offers an ideal solution for the most challenging sample analyses.

The IRT-1000 is a compact and easy to use in-compartment FTIR microscope that can be used with any FT/IR-4X or FT/IR-6X Series instrument. The microscope is exchanged in the same way as an ATR or transmission holder in the sample compartment, without an requirement for adjustment or optical alignment. The excellent throughput allows for highly sensitive measurements for samples as small as 20 microns. The IRT-1000 can be operated from the integrated touch panel and a PC using Spectra Manager™ Suite. Sample is observation is made with an integrated color CCD camera and a 5 inch TFT color LCD monitor and recorded using the imaging function in Spectra Manager™. JASCO’s unique ATOS (Aperture Through Optical System) provides simultaneous viewing of the sample image and sampling location specified by an aperture.

The IRT-5100 is a general purpose FTIR microscope with a standard DLATGS detector (liquid N2 cooling not required), it can also be fitted with a second MCT detector. An optional automatic XYZ stage with autofocus is used for mapping analysis and imaging.

The IRT-5200 FTIR microscope includes a mid-band MCT detector (up to two detectors can be installed). IQ Mapping allows transmission/reflectance and ATR mapping experiments without moving the sample stage. An optional automatic XYZ stage provides auto-focus and mapping or imaging analysis of larger sample areas.

The IRT-7100 automated FTIR microscope includes a standard mid-band MCT detector, with an option to simultaneously install up to two detectors. It is easily field-upgradable to an IR imaging system by adding an optional linear array detector. The standard automatic sample stage provides wide area mapping and multi-ATR mapping together with IQ Mapping.

The IRT-7200 Linear Array FTIR Imaging microscope includes two detectors as standard, a 16-channel linear array detector and a single-point mid-band MCT detector. The combination of the standard automatic sample stage and IQ Mapping allows mapping analyses of a larger sample area, multi-area ATR mapping, and IR imaging of a specified area with extremely high spatial resolution and excellent sensitivity in a short time.

The FT/IR-4X and FT/IR-6X/8X Series compact FTIR spectrometers offer reliable operation with the highest performance specifications. Including a sealed (45 or 28 deg) interferometer with corner-cube mirrors and diode laser with AccuTrac™ DSP technology.
The FTIR Series includes the intuitive Spectra Manager™ Suite with integrated search software solution, KnowItAll® Informatics and database JASCO Edition

The size of FT/IR-4X is only 386 (W) × 479 (D) mm, and we have also achieved a 30 % reduction in power consumption compared to conventional models. It is research-grade in performance, functionality and expandability, and supports high resolution, high S/N, high sensitivity detectors, extending measurement wavenumber, microscopy with linear array detector, and rapid scan. The sample compartment is 200 mm wide, the same width as that of a large model, and can accommodate conventional accessories, including those from third parties.

FT/IR-6X is the powerful FTIR spectrometer for research application, which has excellent signal-to-noise ratio (47,000:1) and high resolution (0.25 cm-1). It has the capability for extending the measurement wavenumber range (25,000 to 20 cm-1), and also has the option for applying the IR measurement under vacuum condition. FT/IR-6X with superior performance, functionality and flexibility provides the optimal solution.

FT/IR-8X is our flagship FTIR spectrometer, which has excellent signal-to-noise ratio (55,000:1) and high resolution (0.07 cm-1). FT/IR- 8X can be used with options for rapid scan measurement and step scan measurement with nanosecond time resolution (up to 10 nsec.). In addition, measurement wavenumber region can be extended as option, and it is possible to upgrade FT/IR-8X to vacuum model.
