The IR5 is the first Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer from the Edinburgh Instruments brand, renowned for its expertise in instrumentation for Raman, fluorescence, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopies. The IR5 is a modern, high-performance benchtop FTIR instrument which can be configured with a second detector or with Fourier transform photoluminescence (FT-PL) capability. The FT-PL option transforms the IR5 into a combined absorption and PL spectrometer in the MIR range, suitable for the most demanding research applications.
Key features:
- High sensitivity and spectral resolution
- Fourier transform photoluminescence upgrade with a choice of laser source
- Option for a second detector giving higher sensitivity at selected spectral ranges
- Simple operation suitable for all user levels, from beginner to advanced
- No maintenance required with moisture control technology
- Modern, powerful and intuitive MiracleTM software designed specifically for the IR5
