One of the most celebrated achievements in the last decade of spectroscopy is the development and refinement of Nano Infrared Spectroscopy (or Nano-IR) and Anasys Instruments of Santa Barbara, California, have been credited with putting these advances in the hands of many professionals in the sciences and in academia with the NanoIR2-FS.
This microscope boasts so much – by combining atomic force microscopy with infrared spectroscopy, Anasys Instruments have come out with the Nano-IR which boasts lightning fast speed, full resolution AFM-IR measurements as well as a staggering 10nm chemical imaging spatial resolution. 10nm is achieved using Tapping AFM-IR in combination with multifunctional nanoscale property mapping nodes (which of course feature full AFM.)
Essentially, the nanoIR2-FS is rightly considered the latest and greatest generation of many nanoscale IR spectroscopy devices – and that is partially because of its power, and partially because of this devices’ amazing amount of utility.
Quite simply, this device provides nanoscale FTIR Spectroscopy which is absolutely unrivalled by anything on the market (or even off it) today, and is a multi-featured workhorse which can provide chemical, structural and mechanical property maps of so many objects, be them solid, chemical, liquid, gaseous, or inbetween.
The Nano-IR capabilities of the NanoIR2-FS can be used in a great many ways for the benefit of those who work or study the life sciences, whether in superior performance in tissue, bone, wood, biomaterial, biomineral, or pharmaceutical analysis. Working laboratories do not have the luxury of choosing whatever they wish for the sake of a simple function, and it falls to the scientist to ensure that value for investment is obtained with each and every instrument which is ordered.
The Nano-IR, while offering some very specific features, is not limited to just those features alone, and Anasys Instruments’ business model is very viewable with the design of this microscope. Anasys’ mission to endeavour to create instruments which give productivity as well as power is prevalent, and makes them the first choice of any laboratory which endeavours to provide the best.
