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.

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 ...
