The LUMOS II is a stand-alone FT-IR microscope that excels in failure analysis, material research, and particle analysis.

 

The LUMOS II is compact, precise, and features ultrafast chemical imaging by FPA technology.

 

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 Bruker to include new and improve upon proven technology

That's why Bruker 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.

The LUMOS II Has Superior µ-ATR FT-IR Capabilities

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.

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.
