Automated Infrared Microscope
Observe, measure, and analyze micro samples quickly and efficiently with Shimadzu’s AIM-9000. A wide field camera with 330X zoom feature enables accurate analysis while a 30,000:1 S/N ratio yields low noise spectra for even the smallest contaminants. The AIM-9000 also features an automatic contamination feature and a proprietary Contaminant Analysis Program that provides fast, accurate search results. Learn more |
