FTmicro10 Fourier Transform Infrared Microscope
Product Introduction
The FTmicro10 Fourier Transform Infrared Microscope is a research-grade FTIR microscope independently developed for high-resolution chemical and physical analysis of microscopic samples. It combines high-definition visible-light observation with high-performance infrared spectroscopy, enabling precise micro-area measurement at high infrared spatial resolution.
The FTmicro10 supports a wide range of measurement modes, including microscopic transmission, reflection, ATR, variable-temperature, and micro-emission measurements. Users can switch between observation and measurement modes directly through the front control panel, simplifying operation and improving laboratory efficiency.
With high-resolution visible and infrared optical paths, broad spectral capability, high sensitivity, and a standard liquid-nitrogen-cooled MCT detector, the FTmicro10 is designed for demanding applications in materials science, semiconductors, environmental analysis, food testing, forensic science, biomedicine, cultural heritage conservation, industrial quality control, and geological research.
The system can also be expanded with an automatic high-precision sample stage, microscopic ATR optics, DTGS detector, thermoelectrically cooled InGaAs detector, and external optical accessories to accommodate different research requirements.

Working Principle
The FTmicro10 works by coupling an FTIR spectrometer with a dedicated infrared microscope.
The infrared interferogram generated by the FTIR spectrometer is directed into the infrared microscope through a switching mirror. The infrared objective focuses the beam onto the selected microscopic area of the sample. By adjusting the built-in knife-edge aperture, the measurement area can be precisely controlled to achieve spatial resolution below 10 μm.
Depending on the selected measurement mode, infrared radiation transmitted through or reflected from the sample is collected by the infrared optical system and directed to the detector. The resulting interferogram is processed to generate the infrared spectrum, from which the sample's chemical composition and physical information can be determined.
The microscope consists of two coaxial optical systems:
• Visible optical path: LED light sources + high-resolution camera for sample observation and positioning.
• Infrared optical path: infrared objective + focusing optics + infrared detector for spectroscopic measurement.
The coaxial optical design allows the operator to accurately locate microscopic regions in the visible image and perform infrared measurement on the same position.

Optical and Detection System
Coaxial Optical Design
The visible and infrared optical paths use a coaxial design to provide a "what you see is what you measure" measurement experience. This helps minimize positioning errors between visible observation and infrared analysis.
High-Resolution Visible Imaging
Two LED light sources and a 12-megapixel camera provide clear microscopic images for sample observation, positioning, image capture, and measurement. Optional visible/infrared polarization accessories can further expand imaging capabilities.
High-Sensitivity Infrared Detection
The standard FTmicro10 configuration uses a liquid-nitrogen-cooled MCT detector, providing high sensitivity and a signal-to-noise ratio above 7000:1. Additional DTGS and thermoelectrically cooled InGaAs detector configurations are available for different spectral and application requirements.
Microscopic ATR Measurement
The optional microscopic ATR system combines a 20× objective with an ATR crystal system. The ATR crystal diameter is less than 100 μm, allowing localized infrared analysis of very small sample areas.
