OPUS Packages: VIDEO & 3D

OPUS/VIDEO Features:

• Individual Video Wizards provide optimal workflows for microanalysis using the Bruker microscopes LUMOS II, HYPERION, SENTERRA II and RamanScope III.
• Clear User Guidance through the steps of micro-spectroscopic analysis.
• Visual microscopic Image Acquisition and live view.
• Live View of Spectra before measurement.
• Automated Mapping measurements of irregular, line and rectangular grids.
• Central Data Storage of spectra, IR/Raman images, visible images and annotations within one common file.

The intuitive Video Wizard presents at each analytical step only those functions which are appropriate to use next, ensuring a comfortable workflow and high efficiency.

The typical measurement procedure consists of the following steps:

1. Visual Sample Inspection for acquisition of single and assembled visual overview images.
2. Selection of Measurement Settings, such as the measurement mode (ATR, transmittance, reflectance, Raman).
3. Interactive Definition of Measurement Positions.
4. Sample Measurement resulting in a single file including all relevant data such as visible images, spectral data and information about the sample and the experiment. The file is directly loaded and presented in the Chemical Imaging window of OPUS/3D.

• Broad Variety of 2D and 3D Views for the display of chemical images resulting from regular (line, rectangular) and irregular mapping measurements.
• View for user-selected Spectra in a 3D file.
• Identification of Sample Components by library search of individual spectra from 3D data.
• Uni- and multivariate Evaluation of 3D spectral Data. Selection of available methods:
  - Integration of user-defined bands (interactive and by predefined methods)
  - Peak picking
  - Quantification via univariate and multivariate (PLS) calibrations
  - Correlation of 3D data with single component spectra
  - 3D cluster analysis
  - Principal component analysis (PCA) of 3D data including calculation of
     loadings and factors

• Combination of up to 8 Components in one Red Green Blue image (classical and “winner takes it all”).

• Processing of 3D spectral Data. Selection of available methods:
  - Atmospheric compensation for minimized spectral interference by water vapor and CO₂
  - Subtraction of single and multiple spectra with automatic determination of scaling factor
  - Normalization functions (minimum-maximum- and vector normalization, offset correction)
  - Calculation of derivative spectra
  - Conversion of spectra (Absorbance, transmittance, ATR, reflectance)

• Processing of individual Spectra inside 3D files
