FACILITY WEBSITE
The ICN2 spectroscopy and molecular microscopy facility is a set of laboratories that provide access to state-of-the-art equipment for the physicochemical and structural characterization of macro- and nano-scale materials. In addition to routine analysis, it also offers a range of highly demanding techniques and applications, thus satisfying the need for researchers for basic and specific scientific analysis. In addition to technical support and training for user-operated equipment, facility members also conduct case studies to inform and advise researchers and / or develop devices that improve the performance of existing equipment.

ADVANCED OPTICAL MICROSCOPY

ICN2 has an Axio Observer Z1m (ZEISS) optical microscope in its facilities. It is a high-resolution and versatile inverted optical microscope that allows the user to gain accurate and reliable knowledge about a wide range of sample types, such as nano / micro size materials, nano / microscopic devices, cell · Living cells, etc.

FT-IR SPECTROSCOPY

IR spectroscopy is based on the absorption of infrared radiation that leads to a transition from a vibrational mode to a more energetic one. The frequencies absorbed by molecules are characteristic of their structure. Therefore, this technique is a powerful tool for qualitative analysis, although it can also be used quantitatively.

Although based on the same physical phenomena in terms of the interaction between radiation and matter, current IR spectrometers have evolved in the way they radiate the sample, replacing previous monochromators with interferometers, leading to spectroscopy. faster Fourier transform (FT-IR) infrared.
