C103-E056C Shimadzu Infrared Microscope
Complete Control with AIMView Right on Target... This intelligent infrared microscope provides convenient control of stage movement, aperture setting and focusing, all from the PC screen. Supporting analysis using transmission, reflection as well as ATR methods, the AIM-8800 widens the range of application fields. With emphasis on sensitivity for basic performance of this infrared microscope, ease of operation was also a high design priority. The AIM-8800 Infrared Microscope advances one step further into the new generation. Auto Aperture Maximizes IR illumination on the sample spot. The aperture is motor-driven, and its size and angle are freely set using mouse operation alone. Simply set the aperture over the sample, and the sampling area is automatically positioned for maximum infrared intensity. The aperture size and angle are always maintained. Auto X-Y Stage Simplifies exact sample positioning. Up to 10 sample positions and 2 background positions can be placed into memory, and the stage can be moved in increments as small as 1µm for finely detailed mapping. Auto Focus True focus is only one mouse-click away! Arduous focusing is unnecessary. Just one click of the mouse automatically brings the image into focus. Auto Centering Sample viewing couldn t be easier! Double-clicking on any point in the visible observation screen will bring that spot to the center of the viewing area. (Note : AIMView is the register trade mark of the software used to control the AIM-8800 Shimadzu Infrared Microscope.) High Sensitivity, Maintenance-Free MCT Detector High sensitivity of course! A signal-to-noise ratio of 2600 to 1 is guaranteed in transmission measurement. The high-sensitivity glass dewar type MCT detector eliminates the need to re-evacuate every 1 to 2 years, as required with metallic dewar type MCT detectors. Abundant Options A variety of options are available, including an ATR objective, 32 objective, micromanipulator, mapping software, etc. ATR Objective ATR-8800M 2 3

ATR Objective (slide-on type) A magnification of 15, incident angle of 30 and single refection are provided with the incorporated 3mm-diameter Ge semicircular prism. The slide-type prism permits switching between the usual observation and infrared measurement modes. The ATR objective can be effectively used to analyze foreign particles on substrates which do not reflect light easily, such as paper or plastic, and well as to perform surface analysis.

AIM-MAP Mapping Software Mapping software allows dimensional analysis of points, lines and surfaces. Capture microscope images and Synthesize a large visual image The mapping software captures microscope images and synthesizes a large visual image to determine the mapping area. Set mapping parameters on the synthesized visual image Mapping parameters such as mapping area, Aperture setting, scan interval, and so on are set op on the synthesized visual image by a mouse. Easy microscope operation Functions to control the AIM-8800 and Mapping operation such as switching the Transmittance/Reflectance mode are short-cut by icons on the screen. Various mapping mode Random (multi^point), Line and Area mapping are available. Not only general Transmittance/Reflectance mapping but also ATR mapping are available (ATR Objective is an optional). Manipulation of mapped data Spectra and map based on specified functional group are calculated from obtained mapping data. The mapped data is displayed by 3-dimensional (bird's-eye view), Contour or Spectral overly mode. The mapping software captures microscope images and synthesizes a large visual image to determine the mapping area. Mapping parameters such as mapping area, Aperture setting, scan interval, and so on are set op on the synthesized visual image by a mouse. An area mapping data consists of 4 coordinates-scanned position (x, y), wavenumber and absorbance. Display functions and Data manipulation functions of AIM-MAP calculates peak height, peak area or ratio at scanned position. And AIM-MAP calculates maps based on specified functional group. Shown data is a map calculated by alkyl group (3050-2750cm-1). The mapped data is displayed by 3dimensional (bird's-eye view), Contour or Spectral overly mode. 8
Distribution analysis is also possible. Distribution analysis of additive in film Various types of additives are applied to materials to impart a variety of characteristics. To ensure uniform product quality, uniform mixing of additives is necessary. Even in general macro measurement, where distribution analysis has been difficult, the infrared microscope enables such analysis. Spectrum of Film Cross-section Plots of Additive Peak (1510~1470cm -1 ) Surface Analysis using ATR Mapping Analysis of chrome plated surface film on glass substrate Processes such as surface improvement and coating are used to impart various types of functionality to materials. Further, it is necessary to meticulously control the surface state of processed materials. By performing mapping in the ATR microscopy mode, the surface state of the sample can be viewed in detail. ATR microscopy and mapping were used to analyze the two mixed components, polyimide (PI) and polyamide acid (PAA), in the chrome plating surface film on a glass substrate. A map was obtained based on the ratio of the 1720cm -1 peak and 1600cm -1 peak, allowing verification of the PI distribution. Blue line : Polyimide infrared spectrum Red line : Polyamide acid infrared spectrum Polyimide Distribution Map Mapping Line Mapping Measure data on the line from start to end points. Mapped data is 3 dimensional data consisted of wavenumber, absorbance and position. Area Mapping Measure data in the rectangular area specified by start and end points. Mapped data is 4 dimensional data consisted of wavenumber, absorbance and x-/y-position. 9
Applications Analysis by ATR Microscopy and Mapping Measurement Analysis of foreign substance on paper using ATR microscopy Figure 1 shows a photographic enlargement of a foreign particle on paper. Using ATR microscopy, infrared spectral measurement was conducted for the particle as well as the paper substrate. The result is displayed in Figure 2. There is no peak associated with the paper on the infrared spectrum of the particle, illustrating how ATR microscopy provides a good infrared spectrum of the particle without any influence from the paper substrate. A peak of the amide1appears in the vicinity of 1650cm-1 and another of amide2at 1550cm-1, indicating that the foreign particle is a secondary amide compound. Figure 1 Photographic Enlargement of Foreign Particle on Paper Figure 2 Infrared Spectra of Particle (red) and Paper (green) Mapping Measurement of Flux Adhering to Electronic Component Figure 3 shows a photographic enlargement of a flux particle adhering to an electronic component. Reflectance mapping measurement was performed on 15µm intervals of the area including the flux particle. Figure 5 shows the acquired map data, and Figure 4 shows the spectral data, with the flux peak observed at 1697.2cm-1 (carbonyl group peak). The height in Figure 5 is proportional to the amount of the adhering substance containing the carbonyl group. The red color indicates that there is a large amount of contaminant present.
