The Nicolet^™ iN^™10 MX imaging microscope makes sampling large areas easy. Unlike any other IR imaging system, the Nicolet iN10 MX delivers complete sample information, including compound distributions and physical properties from materials in complex matrices. Plus, the system is fully integrated for increased flexibility and superior performance

• Extract chemical images, record size of sample features and relative distribution in percentage
• Illumination uniformity and zoom optics deliver the highest quality infrared images and spatial resolution
• Go beyond microscopy diffraction limits with Micro-ATR sampling

Features All the Benefits and Options of the Nicolet iN10 Plus
Ultra-Fast, Powerful Imaging

Chemical imaging analysis is so much quicker with ultra-fast mapping and full-speed infrared imaging.

Image A Infrared chemical image of a multilayer film collected with single element detector and aperture set at 20 x 20 microns. Image size 1.2 x 0.6 mm, 2016 spectra at 8 cm-1 resolution. Collection time: 8 minutes. Compare with standard mapping, which would take approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.

The Nicolet iN10 MX ultra-fast mapping is one order of magnitude faster than traditional mapping (see image "A"), allowing you to get superior quality chemical images with minimal investment. You can upgrade to a Nicolet iN10 MX anytime, to further increase your speed.

• Up to 10 steps/second at 16 cm^-1 resolution equivalent to 1.2 x 1.2 mm in only 4.5 minutes
• Standard single element MCT detector
• Spatial resolution better than 10 microns

• Exceptional sensitivity to measure samples as small as 3 microns
• Exceptional quality spectra of opaque/non reflective samples
• Surface studies and analysis of recessed samples
• Sample thickness up to 20 mm
• Computer controlled, user adjustable uniform pressure
• Energy throughput better than 50%

The Reason for Integration: Performance!

From the start we were driven to make the Nicolet iN10 MX the most powerful and easy-to-use infrared imaging instrument on the market. We've accomplished our goal, through innovation and integration.

The patent-pending optical design of the Nicolet iN10 MX delivers the signal from the infrared source to each detector, and optimizes the beam for superior imaging and vignetting-free performance. The entire infrared imaging optical path is made with gold-coated mirrors. With the integrated design of the Nicolet iN10 MX, we are able to create the shortest distance possible from source to detector.

Nicolet iN10 MX

• Integration means you have all the time you need to focus on the answers. Several necessary steps to set-up, view and collect samples are taken care of by the instrument
• The Nicolet iN10 MX with OMNIC^™ Picta^™ also does all those things a microscopist would do to get best contrast chemical images and to extract physical or distribution information from your samples.
