Frequently Asked Questions
Dimension IconIR supports Tapping AFM-IR and Resonance Enhanced AFM-IR as standard modes. Surface Sensitive AFM-IR and REFV AFM-IR are available as options, depending on the system’s configuration and accessories.
IconIR supports samples up to 150 millimeters in diameter and is designed for either multiple coupons or large-sample workflows. Bruker also has the Dimension IconIR 300 for full access on 200 mm and 300 mm wafers. If you need to work with larger or heavier samples, consult Bruker for custom solutions.
Standard Dimension Icon AFMs cannot be routinely upgraded to IconIR systems. IconIR is a dedicated platform with integrated IR capability.
More About Bruker's Nanoscale Infrared Technology
Yes. Bruker’s photothermal AFM-IR technology produces spectra that are directly comparable to FTIR spectra, as demonstrated in published documentation and peer-reviewed articles. AFM-IR spectra can be searched directly against FTIR spectral databases. If FTIR-like spectral analysis is critical for your application, our experts can provide evidence showing spectral correlation.
Photothermal AFM-IR provides direct absorption-based spectra that closely match FTIR results and are easier to interpret than Raman-AFM or s-SNOM. Further, Photothermal AFM-IR signals are amplified by the resonant enhancement of the cantilever providing the best signal-to-noise of those techniques. Bruker offers s-SNOM as a separate option for advanced near-field studies.
Bruker nanoIR systems routinely achieve chemical imaging with spatial resolution below 10 nm and can detect single molecular layers. Actual performance depends on your sample and selected measurement mode.
Yes, photothermal AFM-IR can chemically map and identify particles smaller than one micron, including nanoplastics and environmental contaminants. Direct correlation to FTIR provides ready interpretation in particles as small as 10 nm.
Bruker’s photothermal AFM-IR systems typically require a single socket of standard electrical power,and CDA. Specific requirements may vary by model, so request a site preparation guide from your Bruker representative.
Bruker photothermal AFM-IR systems primarily use quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) that deliver stable, reliable performance and broad coverage across the mid-infrared fingerprint region as well as optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) for the C-H, O-H, N-H stretching region. Multiple QCL chips can be combined to access all key spectral windows required for routine and advanced research, and additional sources are available for specialized applications. Bruker’s application experts can help you select the optimal laser configuration to match your measurement needs and ensure sufficient spectral resolution for both standard and demanding experiments.
Measurement times vary by application, but point spectra can be acquired in seconds, chemical maps in minutes, and automated recipes can be tailored for high-throughput workflows.
Routine maintenance includes probe replacement, laser alignment checks, and calibration with reference samples. Bruker provides detailed maintenance protocols and support plans.
