Bruker FTIR Automated Focus Upgrade (March 2014)

The Bruker Hyperion FTIR microscope in the Bard Materials Facility has recently been updated with automated focus capability. Focus can be driven through the Opus software as well as the joystick.  The advantages here include ATR mapping, Background acquisition during IR mapping in transmission and reflection, and the ability to focus on sample and background without breaking purge.  For questions or training please contact Philip Carubia (pmc228@cornell.edu)
