Far-IR provides infrared light 100 – 1000 times brighter than standard laboratory sources, allowing the spectroscopic study of molecules with much higher precision and sensitivity.
Mid-IR provides a state-of-the-art Fourier Transform IR spectrometer and microscope to supply diffraction-limited spatial resolution to an ever-widening range of experimental configurations. Research and development will explore new experiments and re-examine existing techniques by applying the advantages of high brightness infrared synchrotron light.
