Infrared Microscopy Reimagined

As laboratories face increasing demands to analyze complex samples quickly, accurately, and in compliance with rigorous standards, FTIR microscopy is evolving to meet the challenge. This paper offers a practical look at how innovations in imaging, automation, and spectral analysis are streamlining workflows and improving reproducibility in real-world lab environments. Techniques that simplify tasks such as contaminant detection, polymer layer analysis, microplastics characterization, and pharmaceutical QA/QC are also explored. Whether focused on high-throughput quality control or advanced materials research, this paper will provide actionable strategies to enhance your FTIR microscopy practice and stay ahead of evolving analytical needs.
