Hyperspectral Imaging: Captures a full infrared spectrum at every pixel, allowing for multidimensional chemical analysis. This feature enables detailed studies of material composition and heterogeneity. Sub-5 nm Spatial Resolution: The high-performance NanoIR spectroscopy delivers monolayer sensitivity, making it ideal for the analysis of delicate samples such as polymers, thin films, and biological structures. Correlative PeakForce Tapping® Technology: This exclusive Bruker mode allows simultaneous nanomechanical and nanoelectrical property mapping, providing a comprehensive characterization of materials in a single experiment. Photothermal AFM-IR: This patented mode from Bruker offers quantitative nanochemical insights with depth sensitivity, making it suitable for high-speed single-molecule spectroscopy and correlated FT-IR analysis. Surface-Sensitive AFM-IR Mode: Probe the chemical properties of surfaces with reduced depth, targeting just tens of nanometers. This mode is particularly useful for analyzing polymeric films and coatings. AFM-IR measurements: Productive Workflow: Guided workflows and a programmable stage enhance measurement throughput, providing an intrinsically easy-to-use AFM-IR experience.
