Information for Nicolet 7199 FT-IR Spectrometer?

Posted by Cliff on from the old-and-obscure-hardware-is-still-useful dept.

Eddie_V_ asks: "I am a college student at UW-Platteville studying Software Engineering and Computer Science. I am also working on a project with a teacher. Our campus received a Nicolet 7199 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer from 3M. This was apparently the first FT-IR Spectrometer ever made. The big problem we have run into is that we don't have much information on it. If someone could please help us by being someone we could contact to ask questions or if you could just dig up some information on it (we have tried to no avail), we'd be much appreciative. "

    If you're going to provide a name, you might as well provide an email address, it's not like pilot won't give you all kinds of good information.

    Try www.nicolet.com. I didn't see anything right off, but I wasn't looking very hard (or you could try emailing them).

    Hi.

    I'm a little hesitant to give out someone's email address without asking him, but a professor at MSU had a similar problem. We had a similar machine at Michigan State Univeristy in the Materials Science and Mechanics dept. It was better to scrap the machine for the laser/lenses/mirrors/actuators then it was to fix it. I'm not sure exactly why but if you are interested in knowing more, then email the faculty member in the department who does know more. His name is Lee.
