LUMOS II

LUMOS II | FT-IR Microscope | What is the LUMOS?

Our product manager Eric Klein introduces the LUMOS II FT-IR microscope and highlights some of its amazing features.

LUMOS II

The LUMOS II is a stand-alone FT-IR microscope that excels in failure analysis, material research and particle analysis. It is compact, precise and features ultrafast chemical imaging by FPA technology.
WHAT IS THE LUMOS II

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 its user interface specifically to the user. Beginners get perfect results in no time, while experts maintain total instrument control.
