The nanoIR3-s Broadband from Bruker is the world’s most sophisticated s-SNOM-based nanoscale FTIR spectroscopy system. The system offers the widest possible spectral range (from 670 to 4000 cm−1) with high-resolution nano-optical and nanochemical imaging features.
The platform integrates the industry-leading Anasys nanoIR3-s system with the newest OPO/DFG femtosecond laser technology, thus delivering unrivaled levels of performance, flexibility, and integration.
Broadband Features of nanoIR3-s:
- FTIR spectroscopy and imaging with the maximum possible performance for 2D/graphene materials
- Widest possible spectral range for high-resolution nanochemical imaging and spectroscopy
- Material property mapping at the nanoscale and sample environmental control possibilities
