Submicron IR Spectroscopy: The Next Step in AFM

Submicron IR Spectroscopy from Anasys Instruments’ new mIRage™ IR microscope bridges the gap between conventional IR microspectroscopy and nanospectroscopy. This allows the user unbridled freedom in a variety of medical and scientific applications never before thought possible. The mIRage™ IR microscope is revolutionary – with absolutely no limitations when compared to traditional AFM techniques.

The mIRage™ IR microscope by Anasys Instruments provides wavelength independent spatial true submicron IR spatial resolution imaging as well as spectroscopy. This innovation from Anasys Instruments – announced in October 2017- is a new concept in the world of photothermal IR spectroscopy due to this. But how exactly has it been made? Anasys Instruments are indeed leaders in all things AFM, and due to years of research and development, the mIRage™ IR microscope has been made possible, allowing users on a worldwide basis to embrace new techniques as well as the new possibilities which come with them.

Due to the inclusion of proprietary techniques developed by Anasys, and this product does not disappoint, and manages to avoid most of the teething problems expected of completely new pieces of equipment.

It can be very tempting for a laboratory or medical facility to watch the way something pans before adapting to new technologies, but in the field of submicron IR Spectroscopy, Anasys Instruments have certainly opened up the playing field with the mIRage™ IR microscope.

The integration of their own proprietary techniques have ensured that the mIRage™ IR microscope is not something that will feel clunky or even outdated for quite some time. Plus, they mean that the mIRage™ IR microscope will always be supported.

The Anasys Mirage IR Microscope has a number of things which set it apart from other photothermal products on the market, and it is very much a new invention. Scanwel, a UK-based distributor and manufacturer of custom fabrications can be contacted during business hours to provide further information and an overview of this next step in photothermal technology.

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...

The Basics Behind Industrial Hoses

Industrial hoses are an incredibly useful tool in a variety of manufacturing and production processes. Their characteristics and accessories can be equally variable, so it is vitally important that you know the basics of an industrial hose and how they can benefit the efficiency of workflow within your industry sector. Here we will look at the precise specifications that contribute to industrial hoses. An industrial hose is a flexible container that takes a shape similar to a pipe, and is quite often made of rubber. These “pipes” are used to transport liquids, gases and certain solids from one part of a machine to another, or even a completely different area of the building. Household hoses that a majority of people are familiar with will usually include the common garden hose; however, industrial hoses are used when larger volumes of substances are in need of transportation. Hoses transport those substances via their water-tight lining made of plastic or rubber, which is als...

Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly. Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the ...
