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  • You’re replacing outdated infrared systems—Upgrade to modern FTIR platforms with advanced detection.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. The whole leasing process was smooth, quick, and seamless.

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

"Excedr's lease structure helped us extend our cash runway, forecast our projects with greater accuracy, and track and manage upcoming expenses more effectively, putting us in a stronger position for our next venture round."

Shawn Gahr

COO & Co-Founder, Novoron

"Building a biotech is tough, and Excedr has been a dynamite partner in scaling. They supported Distributed Bio’s growth from an 8-person 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."
