Mapping Program (AIMsolution)

Description

The mapping program measures the absorption distribution on the surface of a sample and creates imaging data when used with the Shimadzu AIM-9000 infrared microscope. It allows setting of mapping parameters, such as the mapping range, the scan intervals, and the background positions, on the composite visible images. It also supports area mapping and random mapping modes. In addition to mapping in the conventional transmittance and reflectance modes, micro-ATR mapping is also available. (An optional ATR objective is required. It also requires a separate pressure sensor.) From the acquired mapping data, it is possible to extract spectra and to perform calculations for specific peaks and functional group mapping by multivariate analysis.
