HYPERION II FT-IR QCL Microscope

FT-IR Microscopy Augmented by QCL | Infrared Laser Imaging
The HYPERION II is an innovation force in infrared microscopy. It provides IR imaging down to the diffraction limit and sets the benchmark in ATR microscopy. It combines FT-IR and Infrared Laser Imaging (ILIM) microscopy for the first time ever in a single device, offering all three measurement modes: transmission, reflection, and ATR.

HYPERION II features:

Selection of detectors for µ-FT-IR:
Broad-, mid, narrow-band LN2-MCTs,
thermoelectrically cooled (TE) MCT.
Focal-plane array detector for infrared imaging (64 x 64 or 128 x 128 pixel).
Optional QCL implementation by Laser Infrared Imaging Module (ILIM, laser class 1)
Objective lens selection: 3.5x/15x/36x IR,
20x ATR, 15x GIR, 4x/40x VIS.
Spectral range extension – from Near-Infrared (NIR) to Far-Infrared (FIR)
Selection of apertures: manual knife-edge, automated knife-edge aperture wheel. Metal apertures for NIR
Selection of accessories and sample stages: macro IR imaging accessory, cooling/heating stage, sample compartment, etc.
Selection of visual/optical tools: Darkfield illumination, Fluorescence illumination, VIS polarizers, IR polarizers, etc.

QCL and FT-IR in a single instrument

For the first time, users can access an IR microscope that combines FT-IR and QCL technology in one instrument. With this, we are opening a completely new door to life science and material research.

Collect an FT-IR spectrum, select the wavelengths you want to investigate using QCL and create stunning chemical images in a matter of seconds.

With this completely new approach of FT-IR and infrared laser imaging, we finally give users, researchers, and scientists a tool to develop new applications, but also to improve established and proven approaches.
