Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
FTIR

UWEC houses a Digilab FTS-3500 Excalibur Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer equipped with a UMA-600 microscope, an Olympus motorized stage, and a Stingray array detector. The optics can achieve resolution finer than 20 microns and is ideal for analyzing diffusion profiles in single crystals and glass charges.


Lisa cools down the array detector while Scott quantifies impurity concentrations in apatite crystals.

Excellence. Our Measure. Our Motto. Our Goal.
