Bruker Optics offers state-of-the-art infrared and Raman spectrometers, microscopes and TD-NMR analyzers for art conservation and archaeometry studies.
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a useful tool for identifying a variety of inorganic and organic compounds based on their selective absorption of radiation in the mid-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum fingerprint signature. The infrared spectrum of a sample can be matched with that of reference compounds using library search software.
