Chemical Modes
Nanoscale infrared spectroscopy offers a range of chemical analysis capabilities. Bruker's proprietary photothermal AFM‑IR technique detects thermal expansion caused by the absorption of infrared radiation and provides nanoscale chemical mapping and spectroscopy directly correlated to FTIR spectroscopy, allowing chemical identification. AFM‑IR also works with hyperspectral implementation, where a full IR spectrum is collected at each pixel.
