Bruker's Dimension IconIR, a large-sample system, merges nanoscale infrared (IR) spectroscopy with scanning probe microscopy (SPM) to provide unmatched spectroscopy, imaging, and property mapping performance on a single platform.
This system encapsulates decades of research and technological advancements and features high-resolution chemical imaging with monolayer sensitivity. Its large-sample architecture offers ultimate sample flexibility while maintaining all the industry-best atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurement capabilities of the Dimension Icon®.
The Dimension IconIR leverages Bruker-exclusive PeakForce Tapping® for nanoscale property mapping and proprietary nanoIR spectroscopy technology. This combination enables correlative microscopy that supports comprehensive nanochemical, nanoelectrical, and nanomechanical characterization of materials and active nanoscale systems within electrical or chemically reactive environments.
