The Perkin Elmer Spectrum FTIR Spectrometer is a Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer.[1]
What it is
The Perkin Elmer Spectrum is a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn FTIR spectrometer uses an interferometer, typically a Michelson interferometer, to modulate the infrared light before it passes through the sample. A movable mirror in the interferometer creates a time-domain interference pattern called an interferogram, which contains all the spectral information simultaneously.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedCommon applications of FTIR spectroscopy include identification of organic compounds, analysis of polymers and plastics, detection of functional groups in unknown samples, and verification of raw materials in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing. In semiconductor and optics industries, FTIR is used for evaluating cleanliness, measuring film thickness, and analyzing surface contaminants.
