200 nm

A focused IR laser beam illuminates a standard metal-coated AFM

probing tip . The tip generates a nano-focus at its apex that is

about 1000-times smaller than the diffraction limited laser spot.

The nano-focus is used to locally probe the sample. Infrared ima-

ging & spectroscopy is performed by recording the light scattered

by the probing tip while scanning the sample surface.

neaspec's patented background suppression technique eliminates the

diffuse light and thus allows a spatial resolution of 10 nm throughout

the infared spectrum. This even works in the visible and THz region

and allows additional powerful material science applications.

Chemical identification @10nm best in class spatial resolution

Highest imaging & spectroscopy speed without compromise on quality

nano-FTIR directly correlates with conventional FTIR spectra

Suited for all material classes, organic &

inorganic samples

Easy-to-use with guaranteed performance

by intelligent software design

Extendable to VIS, NIR, MIR & THz applications

How nano-FTIR Beats the Diffraction Limit in Infrared Imaging & Spectroscopy

nano-FTIR – Where Infrared Imaging & Spectroscopy Meets AFM

nano-FTIR – A New Era in Modern Analytical Chemistry

The optical spectral region and in particular the “material

fingerprint region in infrared”, allows the investigation of a large

variety of material properties. The patented tech nology brings this

interesting long-wave spectral region to the nanoscale.

nano-FTIR can be applied in many disciplines where high

resolution chemical identification is required, such as Chemistry,

Semiconductor Technology, Polymer Science and even Life-

Sciences. It only requires standard AFM sample preparation.

nano-FTIR has proven its huge impact in various scientific

publications in high-ranking journals such as Nature and

Science.
