The merger of molecular spectroscopy with microscopy is certainly not a new concept. Microscope attachments for FT-IR spectrometers have been available for nearly two decades and there are literally thousands of FT-IR spectrometers with these devices currently installed. The vast majority of them are applied to contaminant or forensic oriented problems. As such, the microscopes are often used as sophisticated beam condensers, enabling the spectrometer to focus infrared radiation on the samples that are typically larger than 10 microns.
