Anasys product line
The mIRage™ IR microscope changes the field of IR spectroscopy with a novel approach to achieving submicron resolution IR spectroscopy.
- Submicron IR spectroscopy and imaging
- Transmission quality IR spectra in reflection mode
- IR wavelength independent spatial resolution
- Fast, easy to use, optical non contact technique
- Eliminates the need for thin sections
The mIRage™ IR microscope is an innovative new system uniquely providing submicron IR spectroscopy and imaging across a wide variety of applications.
Using a proprietary Anasys technique based upon photothermal IR spectroscopy, mirage breaks the diffraction limit and bridges the gap between conventional IR microspectroscopy and nanoscale IR spectroscopy
- New High speed, high resolution, full spectra AFM-IR measurement in seconds
- 10nm chemical imaging spatial resolution with Tapping AFM-IR
- High speed, rich, interpretable IR spectra that directly correlates to FTIR
- Multi-functional nanoscale property mapping modes with full featured AFM
- “Anasys engineered” for productivity and reliability
The nanoIR2-FS is the latest generation nanoscale IR spectroscopy, chemical imaging, and property mapping system for both materials and life science applications. The system provides spectroscopic capabilities that provide excellent correlation to FTIR transmission spectra on a wide range of material types, enabling nanoscale FTIR measurement.
The system also provides IR-based chemical imaging to provide mapping of chemical variations of the feature of interest. Unique Point Spectroscopy capabilities provide both spectroscopy and chemical imaging with a single source.
The only nanoscale IR spectroscopy and imaging platform with both: AFM-IR, True model-free IR absorption spectroscopy and s-SNOM, Sub-20 nm complex optical property imaging for life sciences, polymers, organics, graphene, 2D materials, photonics, and inorganics

The nano-TA2 is the second generation of the nano thermal analysis (nano-TA) module from Anasys. This module allows sub-100nm local thermal analysis for most commercially available atomic force microscopes (AFM).
Scanning Thermal Microscopy SThM
The Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) module (comprising controller, software and probes) enables most AFMs to be able to do temperature mapping of their sample with 0.1ºC resolution.
