Submicron Spectroscopy Has Been Achieved With Mirage IR

IR Microscopy has always been subject to limitation, which has meant that the value of IR microscopy has always been significantly less than other means of material identification available.

The world leader in nanoscale IR spectroscopy, Anasys Instruments, have changed the field of IR spectroscopy with the announcement of their brand new product – the Mirage IR – which actually makes submicron spectroscopy possible, feasible, achievable – and reliable to boot.

Submicron spatial resolution means, in viable terms, an increase of over 20x the spatial resolution available on anything else on the market. Anasys have been well known as a company which invests heavily in research and development, working with scientific advisors around the world to consistently break barriers with constant invention and discovery – and the Mirage IR is easily considered a game changer in the field of IR microscopy.

You simply cannot achieve submicron spatial resolution on any other product – and the barriers of the theory itself have been pushed with the Mirage IR microscope thanks to Anasys’ excellent research and development team’s collaborative effort. It’s been very many years in the making, but Anasys have well and truly changed the field of IR microscopy with the Mirage IR Microscope.

Anasys’s invention allows for even more pioneering work in the field of IR Microscopy as well. The Mirage IR is not only a device which allows for submicron spectroscopy to finally be achievable – the contact limitations of ATR, as well as dispersive artifacts, have long plagued research pertaining to this method.

The Mirage IR is the first ever IR Microscope which works on thick samples – completely and utterly beyond contact based limitations of ATR. As these limitations are bypassed, a researcher is able to get collections of high quality spectra without error, and without multiple runs being required.

Contactless interpretation has a wealth of other advantages as well, such as making samples on liquids using IR Microscopy perfectly viable for a range of different tests for the first time ever.

What Is Oil and Gas Reservoir Evaluation?

Oil and Gas Reserves and Resources Evaluation is a series of technical studies which are intended to add value to an oil and gas company’s operations pertaining to a particular prospect – as well as highlight issues which may prevent the prospect coming into fruition. Typically, an oil and gas reserves and resource evaluation consists of various technical studies, which tend to take place from an early exploration stage, onward to development planning and even utilised in project execution. Some of these technical studies are as follows. Seismic Processing and Imaging is taken on both pre and post stack processing sequences. Furthermore, there are a series of regional sedimentlogical, sequence-stratigraphic and structural exploration technical audits to carry out. Essential geological information such as sedimentology, facies, burial history, diagenesis and mineralogy is also taken into consideration in order to find the best possible evaluation result. All-in-all, the act of o

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

What is AFM-IR?

AFM-IR , or atomic force microscopy based infrared spectroscopy is a form of chemical imaging which creates a visual image of components which make up chemicals, which uses extremely high powered microscopes. This is typically done with a radiation source to illuminate the sample which is being observed, as well as the usage of an AFM probe which detects thermal expansions from the radiation source. Also used is a high-powered imaging system to translate the probe’s movements into an image, and finally a detector array to categorise. AFM-IR places results in a three-dimensional block, which spans x and y dimensions. AFM-IR has enormous application in a whole variety of fields. Whether it is chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceutical agricultural or industrial use, the ability to analyse substances and work our properties is vital. AFM-IR has quickly become one of the most powerful and efficient ways to characterise material surfaces, especially at nanoscale resolution. Na
