摘要: Methods and apparatus for performing chemical spectroscopy on samples from the scale of nanometers to millimeters or more with a multifunctional platform combining analytical and imaging techniques including atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. For infrared spectroscopy, a sample is illuminated with infrared light and the resulting sample distortion is read out with either a focused UV/visible light beam and/or AFM tip. Using the AFM tip or the UV/visible light beam it is possible to measure the IR absorption characteristics of a sample with spatial resolution ranging from around 1 μm or less to the nanometer scale. The combination of both techniques provides a rapid and large area survey scan with the UV/visible light and a high resolution measurement with the AFM tip. The methods and apparatus also include the ability to analyze light reflected/scattered from the sample via a Raman spectrometer for complementary analysis by Raman spectroscopy. Using a UV/vis source or IR source at higher intensity it is possible to thermally desorb material from a sample for analysis by mass spectrometry. The AFM tip can also be heated to desorb material for mass spec analysis at even higher spatial resolution.

摘要: Properties of a sample that are dependent upon wavelength, such as IR absorption, can be detected and deconstructed into wavelets or other basis functions. These basis functions can be compared to determine which have a relatively high likelihood of being noise or signal, and an attenuation factor can be applied to each wavelet. A spectrum can be reconstructed from these wavelets that exhibits a significantly higher signal-to-noise ratio than raw data co-adding would produce in significantly less measurement time.
