Data formats
Data from the IR microscope is routinely saved in either of two Bruker Opus file formats. Single spectra are saved as Opus Spectrum files. 2D IR map files are saved as OpusMultiple files. Opus Multiple files contain all spectral and x-y spatial information for a two dimensional grid map, plus related captured video images.

Data compatibility
Opus spectrum files can be read by Bruker Opus software, CAMO The Unscrambler v 9.8 and by Thermo Grams /AI which are available at the beamline for off-line data analysis.
Opus Multiple files can be read by Bruker Opus 3D software and by CytoSpec v1.3 which are available at the beamline for off-line data analysis.

Data conversion
Bruker spectrum files can be batch converted into the following file formats:

• X-Y table (data point table – Excel compatible)
• JCAMP
• .span class="caps">SPC format (Thermo Grams AI compatible)

Analysis software
In addition to the latest version of Bruker Opus 3D, the following data analysis packages are available for use on the off-line data analysis PCs.

• CytoSpec v 1.3.02
• Thermo Grams AI (single PC licence)
• The Unscrambler v 9.8 (single PC licence)
