The NIR microscope, also known as the SWIR microscope, is engineered to capture the intricate features of microscopic samples beyond the visible spectrum through absorbance, reflectance, fluorescence, and emission in the visible, near-infrared, and shortwave infrared regions. Optimized for superior performance in the NIR range, this advanced instrument offers a broad spectral range covering ultraviolet, visible, and NIR. Its non-destructive imaging capabilities make the NIR microscope indispensable for a variety of applications, revealing hidden details in microscopic samples without causing any damage.

The NIR microscope is designed to image in regions beyond the visible range. While the usable spectral range of this microscope covers the ultraviolet, visible and NIR regions, their optics and light sources are optimized so that they are more effective in the NIR region. As such, there are many uses for NIR microscopes as they can non-destructively image microscopic samples in regions other than the visible.
