FT-IR Microscopic Imaging of Large Samples with 4x and 15x Infrared Objectives: A Case Study of a Carcinoma Tissue Section

Article

Spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopic imaging uses a combination of an FTIR spectrometer with a microscope and Focal Plane Array (FPA) detector. The method has been recognized as a powerful and versatile imaging tool in many disciplines, ranging from biomedical research through to materials science, art conservation and forensics.
