HYPERION Series FTIR Microscopes Innovation with Integrity

FTIR Microscopy Application & Support The application possibilities of IR microscopy are almost endless and range from analysis of particles, coatings, microplastics, laminates, composite materials, tissue samples, fibres, paints, pigments, and pharmaceuticals to even food safety. Application Example #1: A composite material of a polyoxymethylen (POM) matrix (blue), PTFE particles (green) and Aramide fibers (red) was analyzed to visualize content distribution. Whether the identification of unknown contaminants, determination of layer thickness or the analysis API distribution in drugs, the...

Sample Visualization Contrast enhancement Viewing devices The OPUS software provides numerous tools to ideally analyze your sample visually. You can measure distances and objects with a click of the mouse or add annotations and zoom in to interesting areas. All visual images are saved alongside the measured infrared spectra and their specific sampling positions. Binoculars are always available on the HYPERION, providing a sample view with highest optical quality. So even on samples with very low visual contrast, the region of interest can be identified. For maximum user convenience the CCD...

Chemical Imaging FPA Imaging and Single Point Spectroscopy In FTIR chemical images every pixel contains a complete IR spectrum. To interpret this spectral data, false color images can be rendered to emphasize and characterize the sample’s properties like its homogeneity or chemical composition. Sample regions may be measured point by point by sequential mapping or in one step by FPA imaging. The HYPERION 3000 is able to do both and gives you the power to acquire thousands of spectra per second via its state-of-the-art focal plane array (FPA) detector. Unmatched Resolution: Visual image of...

OPUS Software The HYPERION is controlled by OPUS, Bruker’s all-in-one IR spectroscopy software. It includes the most comprehensive collection of data acquisition, processing and evaluation tools. With a few clicks the software interface can be customized to address the needs of routine as well as R&D laboratories. All resultant spectra, visual images, IR images, RGB and PCA plots, annotations and changes done to your data are saved into one single file, improving data security. To simplify microscopic analysis with HYPERION, OPUS is fitted with a smart software assistant. You are guided...

Sampling Flexibility Depending on the measurement mode, FTIR microscopy places specific requirements on the samples examined. For microscopic analysis in transmission, most samples must be optically thin and are typically cut in sections about 5–15 μm thick. If samples are deposited on reflective substrates, they are measured in reflection. The least expense are measurements in attenuated total reflection since here, samples that are neither reflective nor transparent can be examined straightforward. For this reason, the quality and usability of the ATR objective is crucial for most...

From left to right: (A) ATR objective with integrated pressure sensor; (B) Grazing angle objective for the measurement of thin coatings on metallic surfaces; (C) Macro accessory for the analysis of brittle or sticky samples. Macro-accessory for ATR-Imaging Grazing Angle Objective (GAO) Bruker’s patented grazing angle objective enhances the interaction between sample and infrared light. Grazing angle incidence reflection is perfect for measuring very thin coatings on metallic surfaces. During GAO analysis the signal intensity is actually doubled, since the IR beam passes the sample twice,...
