Infrared window for microscopic FTIR analysis – KBr
Potassium bromide (KBr) is a widely used infrared window material in microscopic FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) analysis due to its excellent transparency in the mid-infrared region. It allows for high-quality spectral data collection without introducing interference from the window itself. KBr windows are typically used in transmission mode and must be handled carefully to avoid moisture absorption, which can degrade performance. Their compatibility with sample preparation techniques like pellet pressing makes them ideal for detailed molecular analysis at the microscopic level.
