Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (SSI) announces the release of the AIM-9000 infrared microscope. With automated analysis functions and an enhanced wide field camera option, the microscope enables analysts of all experience levels to observe, measure, and analyze micro samples quickly and efficiently. Laboratories can use this microscope system to perform high-sensitivity analysis in fields such as electrical/electronics, forensics, pharmaceuticals, life science, foods, and chemicals.

With a 330X digital zoom “view to scan” feature, the AIM-9000 infrared microscope system provides analysts with an easier and more efficient tool for finding and positioning microscopic samples for accurate analysis. In addition to observing large areas up to 10x13 mm, analysts can use the wide field camera and microscope camera together to zoom and position areas as small as 30x40 μm without loss or repositioning of the sample. The microscope’s best-in-class 30,000:1 signal-to-noise ratio allows users to obtain excellent spectra from even the smallest contaminants ...
