RockSolidTM interferometer
The permanently aligned RocksolidTM interferometer is a unique patented component which yields over 20% higher throughput than ordinary interferometer design. It benefits from dual retro reflection cube corner mirrors and wear-free pivot mechanism located in the center of mass, which ensures exceptional stability and reliability even in harsh environment. With its patented design, the elimination of mirror tilt optically and prevention of mirror shear mechanically is reached.
Advantages:
- No need of standby mode to protect the bearing
- No need of recalibration after movement
- No wearing of mechanical bearing, no spare parts, minimization of service costs
- Resistance to vibration and thermal effects
MultiTectTM technology
Bruker’s innovative MultiTect™ detector technology enables automatic control of up to 5 room temperature detectors at once. All room temperature FTIR detectors, such as DTGS, InGaAs, Si diode or GaP, can be configured for the MultiTect™ detector unit, covering the entire spectral range from FIR to UV/VIS.
DigiTectTM detector
Bruker´s DigiTectTM detector technology ensures lowest electronic noise. It is based on modern dual-channel delta-sigma ADC’s with true 24-bit dynamic range integrated into the detector preamplifier electronics.
FIR-MIR Functionality
The FM far- and mid-IR functionality includes the unique ultra-wide range beamsplitter and wide range DLaTGS detector. In connection with standard internal IR source the complete far and mid IR spectral range from 6000 cm-1 to less than 80 cm-1 (50 cm-1 for VERTEX 70v) is accessible in a one-step measurement.
Step-Scan
The step-scan technique allows the monitoring of the temporal progress of very fast reproducible events (transients) down to the very low ns-range. The interferometer mirror consecutively steps to the separate interferogram points one by one where the experiment is restarted again. Temporal resolution up to 2,5 nsec is possible.
Rapid-Scan
For time-resolved spectroscopy of non-reproducible experiments, data can be obtained using the so-called Rapid-Scan technique. In this case the interferometer mirror moves very fast and up to 4 spectra can be extracted from each full forward-backward interferometer scan. Up to 110 spectra acquisition per second possible.
In-field-upgradability to higher-grade instrument
INVENIO exists in 3 versions – from routine S model to advanced R&D X model. Compatibility and possible in-field upgradability between models are only a result of smart design.
