Latest Advancements in Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy: Resolution, Performance and Speed

During this webinar, the presenters introduce the nanoIR2-FS platform with FastSpectra^TM technology with multiple upgrades to IR and AFM capabilities.

This webinar contains the following sections:

• Introduction to Anasys Instruments
• Introduction to nanoscale IR spectroscopy
• Recent major advances: FastSpectra^TM technology, extended-range resonance enhanced source, and new complementary AFM and spectroscopy techniques
• New publications and applications overview: Quantitative AFM-IR, Life sciences applications, materials science applications
• Question and answer session

This webinar also contains answer to the following question:

• How do you how prepare polymeric and biological samples for AFM-IR?
• Can you comment on the spatial resolution of the AFM-IR technique?
• What is the wavelength range covered by the laser source?
• Are wavelengths above 3600 cm^-1 accessible?
• How can IR spectroscopy determine the crystallinity of a material?
• What laser source is required for s-SNOM?
• Does the IR laser interact with the AFM tip, and how would that affect the measurements?
• What probe should be used for AFM-IR and s-SNOM?
• In s-SNOM, does the peak position shift with changing sample thickness?
• Can you perform co-localized measurements using nanoTA, LCR, and nanoIR?
• How would measurements be affected for a hard surface covered in a liquid lubricant?
• Can AFM-IR be performed in controlled atmospheric conditions?
• Is it possible to get quantitative mechanical measurements from the contact resonance frequency measured?
