Most Modern Integration into Laboratories

<h4><strong>Highly productive nanoscale spectroscopy that is easy to use and easy to interpret</strong></h4><p><strong>With photothermal atomic force microscope infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR), chemical identification at the nanoscale is achieved by measuring local IR spectra directly at the AFM tip. This method stands out among nanoscale spectroscopic approaches for its user-friendly operation, straightforward data interpretation, fast measurement times, and reliable repeatability. Bruker's AFM-IR technology delivers monolayer sensitivity, offers spatial resolution below 10 nm, accommodates various probing depths, and supports correlative analysis of chemical and mechanical properties.</strong></p><p>In this webinar, Bruker experts will provide a thorough introduction to photothermal AFM-IR, tailored for IR spectroscopists. They will share explanations of underlying physics, examples of FTIR spectral correlation, and practical experimental considerations.</p><h4><strong>Join us to learn:</strong></h4><ul><li>How the technique works, both theoretically and practically</li><li>Why AFM-IR is spectrally correlated with FTIR</li><li>When AFM-IR is an ideal technique choice</li><li>What experimental factors impact AFM-IR spectra</li></ul><h4><strong>Webinar Summary</strong></h4><p>Photothermal atomic force microscope infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) enables chemical identification at the nanoscale by collecting local infrared spectra at the AFM tip. Compared to other nanoscale spectroscopic techniques, AFM-IR provides major advantages in ease of use, ease of interpretation, measurement speed, and data repeatability. The AFM-IR technique developed at Bruker has achieved monolayer sensitivity, sub-10 nm spatial resolution, a range of probing depths, and correlative measurements of chemical and mechanical properties.</p><p>The AFM-IR signal is proportional to sample absorption coefficients of the IR irradiation, leading to correlation between the collected AFM-IR spectra and the transmission mode bulk Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. This correlation is critical and forms the basis of the chemical identification capability of the AFM-IR technique. Several application examples in different research fields will be highlighted to demonstrate such correlation. Valuable nanoscale chemical information is extracted from the AFM-IR spectra’s peak ratios, band positions and shapes. After that, experimental factors that may impact the AFM-IR spectra will be discussed. These factors need to be properly considered to have correct interpretations of the AFM-IR spectra.</p><h4><strong>Featured Products and Technology</strong></h4><ul><li><strong>NanoIR Spectrometers: </strong>Bruker's nanoIR spectrometers are the world leader in photothermal IR spectroscopy from the nanoscale to the sub-micron and macro scales.</li><li><strong>Dimension IconIR: </strong>Flagship photothermal AFM-IR system, offering correlative imaging modes and 150 mm of sample access for ultimate versatility in materials research and industrial R&amp;D</li></ul><blockquote><p><strong>Speaker: </strong>Cassandra Phillips, Ph.D. (Senior Product Manager, Bruker)</p><p>Cassandra did her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto exploring the photophysics of boron nitride nanotubes using scattering scanning nearfield optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and computational models.
