8700 Nicolet USB Optical Mainframe

The Thermo Scientific Nicolet 8700 FT-IR spectrometer performs advanced FT-IR spectroscopy experiments including step-scan. Step-scan eliminates Fourier modulation interference encountered in the conventional, continuous-scan FT-IR and allows measurements to be made as an explicit function of time, phase, or space. Typical applications of step-scan FT-IR can be classified into two primary categories: time-resolved spectroscopy (TRS) for studying fast kinetic processes, and phase-resolved spectroscopy (PRS) for modulation experiments.
