External reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy
ISAAC lab is equipped with a commercial small footprint FTIR spectrometer that can be operated in external reflection mode thus enabling in situ non-destructive measurements of mid-infrared reflection spectra.
Portable FTIR spectrometer in reflectance mode (Alpha Bruker)
Applications:
-
Identification of organic materials
-
Assistance of pigment and binding medium identification.
