Discrete frequency infrared (DFIR) chemical imaging is transforming the practice of microspectroscopy by enabling a diversity of instrumentation and new measurement capabilities. While a variety of hardware implementations have been realized, considerations in the design of all-IR microscopes have not yet been compiled. Here we describe the evolution of IR microscopes, provide rationales for design choices, and the major considerations for each optical component that together comprise an imaging system. We analyze design choices in illustrative examples that use these components to optimize performance, under their particular constraints. We then summarize a framework to assess the factors that determine an instrument’s performance mathematically. Finally, we summarize the design and analysis approach by enumerating performance figures of merit for spectroscopic imaging data that can be used to evaluate the capabilities of imaging systems or suitability for specific intended applications. Together, the presented concepts and examples should aid in understanding available instrument configurations, while guiding innovations in design of the next generation of IR chemical imaging spectrometers.

Refractive index and Abbe number are major physical properties of optical materials including glasses and transparent polymers. Refractive index is, in fact, not a constant number and is varied as a function of optical wavelength. The full refractive index spectrum can be obtained using a spectrometer. However, for optical component designers, three refractive indices at the wavelengths of 486.1 nm, 589.3 nm and 656.3 nm are usually sufficient for most of the design tasks, since the rest of the spectrum can be predicted by mathematical models and interpolation. In this paper, we propose a simple optical instrumental setup that determines the refractive indices at three wavelengths and the Abbe number of solid and liquid materials.
