Abstract
A configuration of a time and space-resolved infrared spectroscopic analysis which can be integrated onto a chip is provided. An infrared analysis chip includes a substrate in which a microchannel is formed, at least one of a spectroscope and a photodetector integrated onto a first surface of the substrate in an area where the microchannel is formed, and an infrared light source integrated on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the substrate, the infrared light source being positioned facing said at least one of the photodetector and the spectroscope.
Claims9
An infrared imaging device comprising:
- a light source substrate on which a plurality of light emitting devices are arranged in an array, each of the plurality of light emitting devices being configured to emit infrared light;
- and
- a single infrared detector provided facing the light source substrate,
- wherein a surface of the light source substrate is configured to receive a sample,
- wherein operation of the infrared detector is synchronized with a light emission timing of the plurality of the light emitting devices,
- wherein the single infrared detector is configured to detect the infrared light emitted from at least two of light sources among the plurality of light emitting devices, and
- wherein the single infrared detector is configured to detect the infrared light that is emitted from the at least two of light sources directly to the sample, and transmitted through the sample.
