Fully Automated Stand-Alone FTIR Microscope

LUMOS is a fully automated stand-alone FT-IR microscope. It combines best performance for visual inspection and infrared spectral analysis with highest comfort in use. The intuitive OPUS LUMOS software guides the operator through the process of microscopic sample analysis step-by-step. Due to the motorization and networking of all movable components in the LUMOS all required changes of hardware settings and the complete IR-measurement procedure are performed fully automated. The innovative motorized ATR-crystal allows the system to measure fully automated sample and background spectra even in ATR mode. The measurement results are stored in a single file including visible images, spectral data and sample information.  
  
Evaluation and visualization of the microscopic data is performed in the powerful and intuitive OPUS Chemical Imaging software. Although the LUMOS is designed to be operated by non-experts for routine applications, its exceptional sensitivity makes it also very suitable for high demanding applications.
