A research quality tool designed for today's multi-purpose labs, the NicoletContinuµm IR microscope provides both high-performance infrared sampling and unparalleled visible-light microscopy.
The Nicolet Continuµm is one of the most useful material characterization tools to get the right answer -- no matter what the application or the sample.
Product Detail
The NicoletTM ContinuµmTM microscope provides fully automated operation, making it easy and efficient to use. The Nicolet Continuµm provides visual observation of microscopic samples and chemical characterization of most organic and inorganic compounds.
Benefits of the Nicolet Continuµm microscope include: • Exceptional visual observation quality • Best spatial resolution • Unsurpassed spectral purity • High sensitivity • Expandability
APPLICATIONS The characterization of micro samples is a common requirement for any quality control, analytical services or research laboratory in pharmaceuticals, polymers, packaging, coatings, chemical or textiles. Within these labs, infrared microsscopy addresses many important steps in the process:
• Failure analysis • Product consistency verification • Reverse engineering • Research and development
Infrared microscopy allows the measurement of bulk, surfaces, and composite structures expanding its powerful capabilities to unlimited material science applications including:
HIGH PERFORMACE OPTICAL MICROSCOPY Sharp sample images are essential for revealing fine structure in both visible and infrared microscopy analysis. The Nicolet Continuµm's optical design combines infinity-corrected optics, the finest quality optical components, and visual enhancement tools for any kind of sample.
VIDEO IMAGE CAPTURING The Nicolet Continuµm uses a color diginal camera with USB 2.0 technology for video capturing which provides high resolution, high signal-to-noise, and the highest fidelity images of the sample's fine structure.
EXPAND YOUR SAMPLING CAPABILITY Sample preparation is the secret behind successful infrared microscopy analysis. When preparation is required, knowing and having the right tools makes you an expert in infrared micro sampling, no matter what the sample.
Thermo offers a wide range of tools specifically designed to let you become an expert in sample handling. And the Nicolet Continuµm microscope comes standard with a set of tools which allows you to manipulate fibers, particles and other objects.
UNPARALLELED INFRARED PERFORMANCE The Reflachromat optics ensure perfect matching of the IR/Visible beams, which is an essential step for achieving accurate and pure results. The Reflex aperture provides diffraction-limited spectra by masking both the pre- and post-sample image with one aperture assembly.
Combining TruView Optics with the spectral collection preview mode allows you to get results "on the fly" while moving the sample. This is the most effective sample screening you can get from an infrared microscope. • Collect & view sample simultaneously • Error-free operation • Sample screening
