Efficient Analysis by Infrared Microscope Using Automated Measurement Features

Introduction

As a method of contaminant analysis and defect analysis in various industries including the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and electrical and electronic fields, infrared microspectroscopy is routinely used in many of these quality control departments. Not unexpectedly, there is a common desire throughout these fields for automation of the analysis process to enhance efficiency. The AIMView software used for control of the infrared microscope permits automatic measurement at a maximum of 10 specified measurement sites using different aperture settings. Another feature is that images of the measurement sites are saved automatically in the spectrum file. Here, we introduce the use of these features in combination with a new feature in LabSolutions IR called "Easy Macro," which can be used to easily automate a series of operations.
