Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include methods and apparatus for Fluorescent Enhanced Photothermal Infrared (FE-PTIR) spectroscopy and chemical imaging, which enables high sensitivity and high spatial resolution measurements of IR absorption with simultaneous confocal fluorescence imaging. In various embodiments, the FE-PTIR technique utilizes combined/simultaneous OPTIR and fluorescence imaging that provides significant improvements and benefits compared to previous work by simultaneous detection of both IR absorption and confocal fluorescence using the same optical detector at the same time.

Abstract: Improvements in spectroscopy are disclosed herein that rely on the interaction of both an infrared beam and a probe beam with a sample. These beams are used in a pump-probe arrangement, with a fiber optic probe collecting the beams of infrared and probe radiation from the infrared source and delivering it to the sample. At least a portion of the beam of infrared radiation and the beam of probe radiation overlap one another on the sample. The fiber also collects probe radiation that has interacted with the sample. A detector can use this collected signal to indicate an intensity of the collected probe radiation, and an analyzer can generate a signal indicative of infrared absorption of the sample adjacent the fiber.

Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for measuring an infrared absorption of a sub micrometer region of a sample. An Infrared light source may illuminate a sample in a region that is interacting with the tip of a Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM), stimulating the sample in a way that produces measurable optical properties related to Infrared absorption of the sample region. A probe light source is directed at the region of the sample and SPM tip, and probe light emanating from the tip and sample region is collected. The collected light may be used to derive infrared absorption spectrum information of the sample region, possibly on a sub-micron scale.

Abstract: 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.
