Spotlight 400N FT-NIR Imaging System by PerkinElmer, Inc.

FT-NIR Imaging for Exceptional Analyses

The Spotlight 400N FT-NIR Imaging System is designed with state-of-the-art technology to allow for intelligent automation and sophisticated analysis capabilities. The system incorporates a number of unique productivity tools and features an ATR imaging system that enables the collection of high resolution infrared images of extremely small samples.

Unique features of the Spotlight 400N System include:

• High quality spectral production and images from sample areas, yielding pixel resolutions of 6.25, 25, or 50 microns
• Region of Interest (ROI) finding to allow for ease of analysis of multiple particles and layers all at once
• Configurability to be used with extended range mid-IR, near-IR or dual range FT-IR with the Frontier™ system to give maximum information from samples in the shortest possible time.
• Configurability to be used with mid-IR, near-IR, or dual range FT-IR with the Frontier™ or Spectrum Two™ systems to give maximum information from samples in the shortest possible time.

The Spotlight 400N FT-NIR Imaging System can be configured to meet your FT-NIR microscopy demands and produce high-quality spectra and FT-NIR images from extremely small samples. See the Configurations table below for standard options, and contact a sales representative for more information to customize a system to suit your analysis needs.

• Standard InGaAs (indium gallium arsenide) point and array detector for high-performance near-IR applications
• Micro-ATR objective with a choice of a silicon or germanium crystal
• ATR imaging objective with a germanium crystal with automatic switching between wide area survey and high definition imaging modes
• Standard motorized stage that can be controlled by a joystick or through Spectrum software
• Standard motorized stage that can be controlled by a joystick or through Spectrum software
• White light LED illumination for true color display with capabilities for auto-illumination and autofocus modes
• Spectrum 10™ software as standard with an option for enhanced security in Spectrum 10 ES™
• SpectrumIMAGE™ software as standard enabling full operation over the imaging system
• Can be configured as a system with Spectrum Two or purchased as an upgrade package to an existing PerkinElmer FT-NIR spectrometer.

Microscopy for a Variety of Applications

Easy to use, yet exceptionally powerful and versatile, the Spotlight’s flexibility and sensitivity make it a perfect addition to any lab setting, in any discipline. Some of the applications supported by the Spotlight 400N System include:

• Materials Analysis
• Forensics
• Pharmaceuticals
• Biomedical Research
• Academic Research
• Biomaterials

Results Matter

The Spectrum 10 software suite drives the Spotlight 400N system and can support advanced FT-NIR analysis in research and industrial laboratories, always providing optimal results. The software supplied with the system gives you full control over the microscope including the focusing on the sample, illumination, stage position, changing between sampling modes, and manipulating the spectra that you collect. The spectrometers can operate in ratio, single-beam, or interferogram mode. SpectrumIMAGE software enables control over the imaging system with the ability to view sample images with ease in real time. With Spectrum MultiSearch, identification of unknown mixtures is made simple through the use of comparison algorithms allowing for the separation and library matching of up to 10 components.

For regulated industries that demand secure IR quality testing, Spectrum 10 ES™ software is available and encompasses user access control, audit trailing, data security, and data integrity to ensure secure analyses to meet the technical demands of 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
