Join us virtually at the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis for an exciting seminar on the cutting-edge advancements in multimodal spectroscopy, with a special focus on the breakthrough technique - submicron IR (Optical Photothermal IR, O-PTIR) and its integration with optical microscopy, fluorescence, and simultaneous IR+Raman microscopy. This revolutionary approach overcomes the traditional limits of IR microscopy, achieving true submicron spatial resolution in a contact-less reflection mode without the need for ATR, while delivering FTIR transmission/ATR-like data quality. Combined, these modes provide for unparalleled multimodal chemical characterisation of the sample at submicron, even sub-500nm resolution.
Throughout the seminar, you’ll discover compelling examples that showcase the power of these integrated techniques across various applications. From life sciences, such as bacteria, cells, and tissues, to materials sciences, including microplastics and cultural heritage studies, these advancements open new avenues for experimental approaches and research discoveries. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how these revolutionary multimodal techniques are shaping the future of spectroscopy.
Dr. Mustafa Kansiz is currently the Director of Product Management and Marketing for the mIRage IR Microscope at Photothermal Spectroscopy Corp with responsibilities for new product development, marketing and applications development. He has over 25 years of experience working with FTIR Microscopy and Imaging and Raman, spanning routine to research applications, in both industry and academia. Throughout his time, he has worked at Varian and Agilent Technologies serving in a range of technical and business development roles, including FTIR Microscopy & Imaging Product Manager, Product Specialist, R&D Scientist and European FTIR Sales Manager. He has a Ph.D. from Monash University on biotechnological application of FTIR spectroscopy and multivariate statistics.
