- Visible/Infrared Dual View System - The AIM-9000 optimized for measuring extremely small areas. The AIM-9000 achieves 30,000:1 signal-to-noise ratios, the best in its
class. Consequently, it can quickly obtain excellent spectra from even extremely small contaminants.

Contaminant Library for LabSolutions IR (P/N 206-33179-91)
This unique library was created by Shimadzu especially for analyzing contaminants in tap water and food products. The library
includes information about samples actually collected as contaminants and service parts commercially marketed for tap water
applications. It also includes a collection of X-ray fluorescence profiles (PDF files). Consequently, it can significantly improve the
precision of contaminant searches. Unlike previous libraries, this is a mixture library that covers the extensive knowledge and
