Description
- Highest sensitivity and lateral resolution
- High performance ATR objective with internal pressure sensor
- Focal Plane Array (FPA) Detector technology for fast chemical imaging
- GIR objective for (sub-) monolayer detection on metallic surfaces
Bruker’s HYPERION is an infrared microscope that can be used in various routine and advanced research applications; including life sciences, art conservation studies, forensics, polymer research, failure analysis etc. Featuring infrared chemical imaging, crystal-clear sample viewing and a wide variety of IR and visible objectives, the HYPERION provides you with everything needed to conduct the most sensitive microanalysis easily and efficiently. The instrument can be upgraded from base configuration to do full chemical imaging utilizing the focal plane array (FPA) detector. The high quality optics and hardware components, along with Bruker’s OPUS VIDEO, MAP and 3D software packages provide unmatched performance for the data acquisition and evaluation.
Sensitivity, Lateral resolution
The lateral resolution power of the HYPERION is only limited by diffraction of the incident light. Due to the high light-throughput a very high sensitivity is reached even at the highest lateral resolution.
The infrared beam path in the HYPERION is confocal. Apertures can be placed in conjugate image planes individually before and after the sample in transmission as well as in reflection. In the standard configuration, the HYPERION is equipped with a single transparent knife-edge aperture. Metal knife-edge apertures, iris apertures and aperture wheels are available as well as automatic, software-controlled knife-edge apertures.
