Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopes are used in conjunction with FTIR spectroscopy to allow visualization of a sample as an analysis of its components is being done. FTIR microscopes are used in manufacturing for quality control, failure analysis, and reverse engineering and is used in material, forensic, and environmental sciences for surface analysis. As the sample goes through the FTIR spectroscopy, it can be visualized using the microscope inside the spectrometer. The FTIR microscope allows analysis of much smaller samples than FTIR spectroscopy alone, but the sample size can still vary from one FTIR microscope to another. Others features that can differ include fully versus partially automatic and the ability to capture and store images or videos of the samples as the analysis occurs.

| Description | Shimadzu’s one-of-a-kind AIRsight™ Infrared/Raman Microscope delivers more accurate results and improves operational efficiency by providing complementary molecular information in one space-saving platform.
Key features/benefits: - Significantly improves the accuracy of qualitative analysis
Shimadzu’s one-of-a-kind AIRsight™ Infrared/Raman Microscope delivers more accurate results and improves operational efficiency by providing complementary molecular information in one space-saving platform.
Key features/benefits: - Significantly improves the accuracy of qualitative analysis by enabling both infrared and Raman measurements from the same position without moving the sample
- Improves sample observation efficiency with proprietary wide-view camera and microscope camera for infrared measurements and objective lens for Raman measurements
- Wide-view camera enables observation of large areas up to 10 × 13 mm, supports variable digital zooming, and shares positional information with the microscope camera and objective lenses.
- Easier operation with smart software that easily switches between infrared and Raman measurements via the same window
- Automatic Contaminant Recognition functionality eliminates manual search and masking routines for faster analysis
- Combined system saves valuable bench space by enabling analysis of mixtures of both organic and inorganic substances
- Equipped with a standard extensive selection of libraries; optional software, accessories and libraries are also available
AMsolution includes measurement software (AMsolution Measurement) and analysis software (AMsolution Analysis). The measurement software can control both infrared and Raman measurements via the same window. That means all processes, from image acquisition to measuring infrared and Raman spectra at the same location, can be performed smoothly. The analysis software can overlay and search infrared and Raman spectra, create libraries, and so on....

Key features include:
- Wide Field Camera – supports variable digital zooming as well as observation of large areas up to 10 × 13 mm; 330X zoom function enables observation of areas as small as 30µm × 40µm
- 30,000:1 S/N ratio – yields low noise spectra for even the smallest contaminants for better library-matching results
- Infrared spectra can be measured while checking a visible image of the sample and while confirming the position of objects
- Tiling function allows visible observations and infrared measurements to be performed anywhere within the stage operating range
- Automatic Contaminant Recognition functionality eliminates manual search and masking routines for faster analysis
- Proprietary Contaminant Analysis Program – analyzes contaminants with a proprietary search routine, providing fast, accurate search results
Included AMsolution software simplifies operational experience. With this software, the analyst simply clicks one button and the software automatically recognizes the contaminant. It even determines the optimal aperture size and angle in only one second. Additional features include a length measurement function, a library creation function, and the Spectrum Advisor program, which assists customers in identifying common issues in spectroscopy measurements....
