Founder-friendly, non-dilutive capital
Ideal for early-stage or venture-backed teams—and a smart option for any lab looking to preserve equity while scaling.
Infrared Microscope Leasing for Labs
Chemical imaging—without tying up your budget. Lease the infrared microscope that fits your workflow.
What Is an Infrared Microscope?
Infrared (IR) microscopes integrate optical microscopy with infrared spectroscopy to detect, identify, and spatially map the chemical composition of microscopic samples. They’re widely used in materials science, pharmaceuticals, forensics, and biomedical research for label-free, non-destructive analysis.
Infrared microscopy enables high-resolution chemical analysis without dyes or probes—but systems with FTIR integration, focal plane arrays (FPAs), and hyperspectral mapping capabilities can be prohibitively expensive.
Leasing helps your lab access advanced spectroscopic imaging tools without capital delays—so you can focus on capturing meaningful chemical data, not managing procurement roadblocks.
Infrared microscopes combine spatial resolution with chemical analysis, making them essential for QA, forensic science, materials research, and pharmaceutical validation. But FTIR and FPA-enabled systems often come with high upfront costs.
Leasing can be a smart choice when:
Whether analyzing polymers, validating drugs, or identifying trace evidence, leasing an infrared microscope keeps your lab agile and analytically equipped—without the financial burden.
- You’re launching or expanding QA workflows —Implement high-resolution analysis without capital delays.
- You’re replacing outdated infrared systems —Upgrade to modern FTIR platforms with advanced detection.
- You’re scaling forensic or materials analysis —Boost throughput without committing to single-use investments.

Frequently Asked Questions
See all FAQsHow much does it cost to lease equipment with Excedr?
It depends on the machine you’re interested in and how long you’d like to use it for. Contact us and we can walk you through our pricing.
Is there a minimum lease length?
Yes, our leases are between 3-5 years long, making the minimum lease term 36-months.
Do you have an equipment inventory?
No, we do not hold any inventory. Instead, we source the equipment of your choice once you're approved for a lease.
How long does the lease approval process take?
We typically finish instrument and financial diligence within a few days. Comparatively, other financial institutions can take upwards of 3 months or more.
Do I have to pay for maintenance or repairs?
Nope. We will cover corrective repair costs in the case of unexpected breakdowns as well as any necessary equipment maintenance, minimizing instrument downtime. However, we cannot cover repairs due to user negligence.
What happens at the end of my lease?
You’ve got options. You can either renew at a discounted rate, cost-effectively purchase the equipment, or conclude the lease. If you conclude the lease, we will pick up the instrument free of charge.
