Mid-Infrared Spectrometer

A mid-infrared spectrometer is a scientific instrument that analyzes materials by detecting how they absorb or emit mid-infrared light (wavelengths roughly 2.5 to 25 micrometers). When light passes through or reflects off a sample, specific molecules absorb certain wavelengths, creating a unique "fingerprint." By measuring these absorption patterns, the spectrometer helps identify the composition, structure, and properties of substances, useful in fields like chemistry, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnostics. It provides detailed insights into materials by revealing the molecular vibrations responsible for their unique spectral signatures.
