nano infrared and sub micron Raman spectroscopy and imaging.

纳米红外和亚微米拉曼光谱和成像：近场红外（IR）光谱和成像系统将与近场扫描光学显微镜相结合，以提供横向分辨率小于20纳米的红外光谱和分子图像。这是红外指纹和分子成像前所未有的分辨率。每年有两个月的时间，光谱系统将与澳大利亚同步加速器的红外光束线耦合，为所有澳大利亚和新西兰的科学家提供完整的红外光谱覆盖。共聚焦拉曼光谱仪将升级到紫外线，以提供小于150纳米分辨率的光谱。这些系统将为需要纳米级分子信息的纳米科学家、生物医学研究人员和材料科学家提供独特的澳大利亚资源。

Nano infrared and sub micron raman spectroscopy and imaging: Near-field Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and imaging systems will be coupled to near-field scanning optical microscopes to provide IR spectroscopy and molecular images at less than 20 nanometre lateral resolution. This is unprecedented resolution for infrared fingerprinting and molecular imaging. For two months a year the spectroscopy system will be coupled to the IR beamline at the Australian synchrotron, to provide full IR spectral coverage available to all Australian and New Zealand scientists. A confocal raman spectrometer will be upgraded to the ultraviolet to provide spectra at less than 150 nanometre resolution. These systems will provide a unique Australian resource for nanoscientists, biomedical researchers and materials scientists requiring molecular information on the nanoscale.
