Combined raman and fournier transformed infra-red (FTIR) upgrade

振动光谱是研究表面修饰、表面反应、催化材料结构、膜反应以及全面表征材料结构的重要工具。拉曼光谱和红外光谱提供了互补的振动信息，它们共同提供了完整的振动图像。从同一样品、同一地点和样品的不同区域按顺序获得这些信息，可以通过振动光谱学对样品进行明确和彻底的分析。Illiminat IR II可与RANISHAW INVIA拉曼显微镜的徕卡显微镜接口，使申请者和共同申请者能够完全访问急需的连续免费FTIR显微镜和光谱。包括萨斯喀彻温省大学研究生在内的20多名由NSERC资助的研究人员的研究计划将通过将雷尼绍Invia拉曼显微镜与照明IR II显微镜升级为组合显微镜而得到加强。显微镜将被安置在所有研究人员都可以接近的核心研究设施中，并进行操作和维护。

Vibrational spectroscopy is an essential tool to study surface modifications, surface reactions, structure of catalytic materials, membrane reactions, and for overall characterization of materials structure. Raman and Infrared spectroscopy provide complimentary vibrational information and together they provide the complete vibrational picture. Getting this information sequentially from the same sample, from the same spot, and at different regions of the sample allows for unequivocal and thorough analysis of the sample by vibrational spectroscopy. The Illiminat IR II can be interfaced to the Leica Microscope of the Ranishaw InVia Raman Microscope to give the applicant and co-applicants full access to the much needed sequential complimentary FTIR microscopy and spectroscopy. The research program of over 20 NSERC funded researchers including graduate students at the University of Saskatchewan will be enhanced by upgrading the Renishaw InVia Raman Microscope with an Illuminat IR II microscope to the combined microscope. The Microscope will be housed, operated and maintained in a core research facility that is accessible to all researchers.
