The IR5 is the first Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer from the Edinburgh Instruments brand, renowned for its expertise in instrumentation for Raman, fluorescence, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopies. The IR5 is a modern, high-performance benchtop FTIR instrument which can be configured with a second detector or with Fourier transform photoluminescence (FT-PL) capability. The FT-PL option transforms the IR5 into a combined absorption and PL spectrometer in the MIR range, suitable for the most demanding research applications.

Key features:

High sensitivity and spectral resolution
Fourier transform photoluminescence upgrade with a choice of laser source
Option for a second detector giving higher sensitivity at selected spectral ranges
Simple operation suitable for all user levels, from beginner to advanced
No maintenance required with moisture control technology
Modern, powerful and intuitive Miracle^TM software designed specifically for the IR5
