Mapping program

The Mapping software allows one to map absorption information on a sample surface as a function of position when using the SHIMADZU AIM-8800 Infrared Microscope. Mapping parameters, such as the mapping range, the scan intervals, and the background positions, can be set on the composite images. Area mapping, line mapping and random mapping modes are supported. In addition to mapping in the conventional transmittance and reflectance modes, micro-ATR mapping with an optional ATR objective is also available. From the acquired mapping data, it is possible to extract spectra and to perform calculations for functional-group mappings for specific peaks. The data can be displayed as 3D images or contour plots, or in spectral overlay mode. Mapping program includes a 3D Presentation function.
