The Anywhere / Anyone FTIR Microscope
We believe that it is high time to make advanced techniques available to every user, regardless of their skill level. The benefits of FT-IR imaging and microscopy are too great to restrict access by cumbersome hard- and software.
From the start the LUMOS II was meant to make FT-IR imaging faster, easier, more accurate and reliable – and even more fun. Of course, this required us to include new and improve upon proven technology.
That's why we tailored the LUMOS II, its software and user interface specifically to the user. Beginners get perfect results in no time, while experts maintain total instrument control.
Superior µ-ATR FT-IR Capabilities
It comes down to this: Better instrument. Better results.
Whether it is transmission, reflection or attenuated total reflectance (ATR), the LUMOS II is always the right choice. But its greatest strength is ATR microscopy enhanced by FPA technology. This makes the LUMOS II a universal tool for failure analysis and product development.
To cut a long story short, its ATR capabilities are unsurpassed. Period. Don‘t settle for unreliable, manual ATR accessories – get the best. Get the LUMOS.
The retractable crystal is controlled by high precision piezoelectrical motors and integrated into the lens. This allows you to enjoy a clear view of the sample while your measurement still takes place exactly where you want it.
Innovation in FT-IR Microscopy in Every Fiber
Innovation in FT-IR Microscopy in Every Fiber
Endurance and power for your applications.
For us it is a natural thing to pass on the best technology to our customers. Of course, this also applies to the LUMOS II.
The RockSolidTM interferometer guarantees constant performance, while modern electronics ensure mechanical precision and low energy consumption. Meanwhile, the software monitors instrument effectiveness and always ensures correct functionality.
Better instrument. Better results.
Naturally, LUMOS II delivers excellent results in transmission and reflection measurements. One notable highlight, however, are the measurements in attenuated total reflection (ATR).
To cut a long story short, its ATR capabilities are unsurpassed. Period. Don‘t settle for unreliable, manual ATR accessories – get the best. Get the LUMOS.

IR-spectroscopic polymer analysis
The Bruker ALPHA spectrometer is very suitable to verify the correct composition of polymer products and the identification of unknown samples. The intuitive hard- and software design allows even untrained users to perform an analysis.
Analysis of Contaminations on a Plastic Part using the FT-IR Microscope LUMOS II
FT-IR microscopy is an attractive tool for the analysis of contaminations, since this technique
is capable of identifying not only organic but also inorganic components.
Analysis of Microplastics using FTIR and Raman-Microscopy
FT-IR microscopy has established itself as the standard method for the analysis of MPP; it can be applied universally and enables a secure identification of all polymer types. Mapping measurements or FPA imaging allows determining thousands of MPPs in a fully automated manner.
OPUS/OBJECT: Automated Particle Analysis
Particle analysis is a key application of FTIR and Raman microscopy and is receiving increased attention since microplastic contamination has become an issue of public interest.
