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.

Why Lease an Infrared Microscope?

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.

Where Leasing an Infrared Microscope Adds Value

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:

  • 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  • You’re replacing outdated infrared systems—Upgrade to modern FTIR platforms with advanced detection.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.

Whether analyzing polymers, validating drugs, or identifying trace evidence, leasing an infrared microscope keeps your lab agile and analytically equipped—without the financial burden.

Helping Scientists Scale & Succeed

"We used Excedr when it was time for us to make a large capital equipment purchase and the whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.

As a busy start-up CEO, I am always aware of how important it is to keep our science progressing while on a tight budget.

Working with Excedr made it possible for us to accelerate our scientific discovery pipeline without a large outlay of capital."

"Building a biotech is a lot of work. Excedr has been a dynamite partner in making that scaling happen.

They were a great partner when scaling Distributed Bio from an 8 member lab team to 35 members by the time of acquisition. When I started Centivax, Jon was one of the first people I called.

I recommend them for any biotech startup."

"Securing top-tier lab equipment while managing cash flow is a constant challenge. Excedr has been an invaluable partner in helping KiraGen Bio access the high-quality instrumentation we need without the heavy upfront costs.

Their flexible leasing options and outstanding support allow us to focus on advancing our research rather than worrying about equipment procurement and maintenance. For any biotech startup looking to scale efficiently, I can’t recommend Excedr enough."

Aaron Edwards

Co-Founder & CEO, KiraGen Bio

"Excedr helped us to finance a BLI system about a year ago. Sylvia did an excellent job at helping us to understand our options, since our company was new to equipment financing.

The leasing process was fast and easy when compared with self-funding our purchase, plus the speed and ease with which Excedr onboarded us freed up our team’s time to focus on research and grant management.

The lease of our Zeiss EVO10 electron microscope has significantly impacted our outside analysis costs, realizing a significant savings in the 1st year.

Having the instrument on-site has greatly improved our response times to field issues and fabrication challenges, while improving our Engineering and Production Teams' overall understanding of our product lines."
