Infrared mapping analysis of a paint
chip sample (below) found at an
automobile crime scene revealed that
the sample was composed of four
chemically distinct layers.
Three of the spatially-resolved layers
are in the black vertical bar, while one
layer is transparent. Based on these
spectra and the width of each layer,
forensic scientists were able to search
against spectral databases of paint
and coating samples to identify the
vehicles make, model, year, and color.
With infrared mapping and chemical imaging using a focal plane array
detector, Varians systems give you superior quality information, even
from the most challenging of samples, in the shortest possible time.
Perform both microscopic and macroscopic measurements using the
multiple measurement modes of Varians infrared microscopes,
including transmission, reection, attenuated total reectance (ATR),
grazing angle reection analysis and patented

large sample mode.
In the following examples, material heterogeneity and sample
contaminants were characterized within seconds or minutes to provide a
comprehensive understanding of sample chemistry on the micron scale.

See More Than Ever Fast!
As manufacturing processes and associated materials become more
advanced, multi-layer materials and polymers (especially the adhesive
layers in polymer laminates) are becoming thinner and therefore more
difcult to analyze using traditional FT-IR microscopy.
Whether it is the identication of three micron adhesive layers in
multilayer laminates, the orientation of surface-bound monolayer
species on silicon, or the identication of contaminants on
manufactured paper and cardboard products, Varians FT-IR
spectroscopy range provides an arsenal of analytical techniques to
solve your analytical challenge.
In these examples, Varians patented micro ATR Focal Plane Array (FPA)
imaging system was used to resolve sample layers of only a few microns,
in seconds (well below the air diffraction limit). This unique technology
reveals miniscule structural features that other systems overlook, and
allows for unmatched control over critical manufacturing processes.
For these applications, Varians 600-IR series delivers:
Unsurpassed spectral collection of hundreds to thousands of spectra
within seconds to characterize any sample, providing you with more
information from a single collection.
Intelligent imaging with the most comprehensive spatial resolution
modes of 1.1, 5.5, 11, and >22 m for information rich detection of
even the smallest sample features.
Unique software capabilities to monitor the live infrared image
and ensure optimum contact at the moment of ATR measurement,
ensuring the maintenance of sample integrity that is not possible
with alternative systems.

Real Results. Real Conditions.
The industry-leading performance of Varian FT-IR spectrometers
just got better with the introduction of the Varian 600-IR series.
Source throughput, along with beamsplitter and detector efciencies,
have been enhanced, whilst instrument noise effects have been
reduced. The result is superior performance and sensitivity, up to
four times better than any other FT-IR available today!
12
Left: Traditional S/N specication tests are performed without a sample or sampling
accessory in the instrument, so they are effectively measuring air. Right: Varian puts the
reality into FT-IR by measuring S/N values under real-world conditions, so you get a true
indication of what to expect when measuring your samples.

Data Security and Integrity
User Manager enables administrators to set privileges for users
or groups of users, providing protection of data and methods from
change or deletion, for peace of mind.
Access to ALL original data including sample and background
interferograms and post-collection transformations, lets you
determine how the data was collected and manipulated, ensuring
data integrity. Reprocess stored data without having to re-run the
entire experiment, for maximum productivity.
Built-in instrument performance tests provide proof of performance
and condence in your results.
Conrm What You See
For single point and mapping experiments, Resolutions Pro provides:
Fully automated mapping for consecutive, unattended analysis of
large sample areas or multiple samples.
Grid mapping templates customized to your sample to create
chemical contour maps for speedy analysis.
Ability to create application-specic methods to simplify routine
experiments.

UV-Vis-NIR and Fluorescence Solutions for
Materials and Polymers Applications
Varians research-grade Cary UV-Vis-NIR and uorescence
spectrophotometers combine leading edge technology with exibility and
ease of use. Offering performance and versatility, Varians Cary 4000,
5000, 6000i and Cary Eclipse spectrophotometers are equipped to
handle the most demanding materials applications:
Thin lms Refractive index
Laser mirrors AR coatings
Nanocomposites Bandgap
Film thickness Etalons
Bandpass properties Crystals, Powders, Liquids
Filters
Flexible and functional
Spend more time on analysis and less on set-up with Varians
comprehensive suite of Lockdown accessories. The unique Lockdown
mechanism guarantees fast, reproducible accessory changeover.
Swap from absolute specular reectance to diffuse reectance
measurements using an integrating sphere in seconds, or remove the
sample compartment oor to measure large samples.

Varian Cary 4000, 5000 and 6000i UV-Vis-NIR research-grade spectrometers provide
unsurpassed photometric linearity and accuracy with the exibility to handle the widest
variety of sample sizes. Able to satisfy all your measurement needs, it is the only choice
for researchers who need to stay at the forefront of their eld.
The Cary Eclipse uorescence ber optic system enables the properties of difcult-to-
measure materials to be analyzed. The coupler and probe are easily installed and aligned,
and no sample preparation is required. Fluorescence spectra are acquired simply by placing
the solids tip on the surface of the sample. And because the Cary Eclipse is immune to
room light, spectra can be acquired without the need for light shielding.

Application
Measurement of high optical density lters
Solution
Cary 4000
The ultimate in UV-Vis photometric performance
The addition of two lters demonstrates photometric range
(> 8 Abs) and linearity in the UV-Vis. The insert compares the
mathematical addition of the two lters with their combined
measurement (a difference of less than 8x10
-8
%T).
Application
QA/QC of highly absorbing laser safety goggles
Solution
Cary 6000i
Superior photometric linearity and accuracy enables measurements
>7 Abs to be made in the NIR
The superior speed and sensitivity of InGaAs can dramatically increase
productivity. In this instance, the blocking power of laser safety
goggles is quickly and easily veried.
Application
Determination of thin lm thickness of a polymeric coating
Solution
Cary 5000
The VW Absolute Specular Reectance Accessory
The lm thickness of a thin lm can be calculated from its
interference pattern obtained from the absolute reectance spectrum.
Using Varians thin lm application, the thickness of a coated
polycarbonate sample was calculated to be 4.95 m.
