SurveyIR™ FT-IR Microspectrometer

The SurveyIR™ is a versatile and cost-effective microspectroscopy solution designed to provide high-resolution visual imaging and precise FT-IR analysis directly within your spectrometer's sample compartment.

Product Overview

The Czitek SurveyIR™ redefines accessibility in micro-analysis by transforming standard FT-IR spectrometers into high-performance microspectroscopy workstations. By leveraging the spectrometer’s internal detector, the SurveyIR™ eliminates the logistical burden and costs associated with liquid nitrogen cooling, making it an ideal choice for laboratories performing routine forensic analysis, material identification, and quality control. Its compact design allows it to fit seamlessly into the sample compartment of most leading commercial spectrometers without sacrificing optical performance.

eSpot

Equipped with the proprietary eSpot™ software interface, the system facilitates simultaneous sample visualization and spectral acquisition. This real-time interaction ensures that users can precisely target microscopic features, such as contaminants or fibers, with absolute confidence. The integration of high-resolution digital imaging and variable LED illumination—for both transmissive and reflective modes—provides the visual clarity required for modern research environments and demanding industrial applications.
