See more than ever – fastthe Cary 610/620 Ftir microscopes provides superior quality information in the shortest time, even with challenging samples. the microscopes offer the highest available optical throughput for the best S/n performance. the control panel enables all common software actions to be performed at the microscope, and aperture changes are quick and simple.

True chemical imagingthe Cary 620 provides the most sensitive and fastest available chemical imaging. the Focal plane Array (FpA1) detectors enable simultaneous collection of up to 16,384 spectra in seconds. With a range of detector options (16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128) and spatial resolution modes of 1.1, 5.5, 11 and >22 µm, you can characterize any sample.

Large sample analysisextend chemical imaging beyond the microscope with macro imaging, using Agilent’s large Sample accessory. With a field of view of up to 5x5 mm, you get more information from a single collection. Combine this with our range of macro Atr solutions for even simpler sampling.

• Fully automated mapping for consecutive, unattended analysis of large sample areas or multiple samples.

• grid mapping templates customized to your sample to create chemical contour maps for speedy analysis.

• Ability to create application-specific methods to simplify routine experiments.

Intelligent imagingFor chemical imaging experiments, resolutions pro provides:

• Unsurpassed spectral collection of hundreds to thousands of spectra.

• Mosaic option to extend the field of view for unlimited image size.

• individual spectra corresponding to a selected part of the image and conversely, image region corresponding to a selected wavenumber. this is useful as a quick check of a sample’s heterogeneity.

• Control of chemical imaging detector integration time so you can maximize dynamic range and S/n performance to increase the quality of data for difficult to analyze samples.

• 2d and 3d views, which simplify the interpretation of spatially-resolved components.

• Unique live micro Atr imaging allows for ultra low pressure contact by visually monitoring the exact moment and quality of contact, thereby enabling cross-sectioned polymers and polymer laminates to be measured “as-is”, without any embedding material.

Advanced data analysisresolutions pro features sophisticated post-run analysis capabilities.

• easily relate spectral information to a corresponding image.

• ‘play’, ‘extract’ and ‘image peak’ functions to easily explore imaging results.

• Full access to all collection and processing parameters for simple reprocessing of spectra and chemical images.
