Reflection absorption spectroscopy on metal surfaces has been applied to reflection spectroscopy on nonmetallic inorganic materials with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optimal measurement conditions—polarization of incident light and angle of incidence—are discussed on the basis of a calculation using a model of a three-phase system consisting of air, an organic film, and an inorganic substrate. Reflection spectra of stearic acid films on glass substrates were obtained for both perpendicular and parallel polarized incident lights. The optimal measurement condition was for perpendicular polarization, at angle of incidence of 70°, although the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of reflection spectra under this condition was ten times less than the S/N of reflection absorption spectra. Reflection spectra on indium tin oxide substrates were obtained for only parallel polarized incident light, and the optimal angle of incidence was 73°. These results were in good agreement with the calculation results.

The IRμs™ is the first fully integrated system for Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microscopy. FT-IR microscopy combines light microscopy for morphological examination with infrared spectroscopy for chemical identification of microscopic samples or domains. Because the IRμs system is a new tool for molecular microanalysis, its optical, mechanical and system design are described to illustrate the state of development of molecular microanalysis. Applications of infrared microspectroscopy are reviewed by Messerschmidt and Harthcock.Infrared spectral analysis of microscopic samples is not a new idea, it dates back to 1949, with the first commercial instrument being offered by Perkin-Elmer Co. Inc. in 1953. These early efforts showed promise but failed the test of practically. It was not until the advances in computer science were applied did infrared microspectroscopy emerge as a useful technique. Microscopes designed as accessories for Fourier transform infrared spectrometers have been commercially available since 1983. These accessory microscopes provide the best means for analytical spectroscopists to analyze microscopic samples, while not interfering with the FT-IR spectrometer’s normal functions.
