Transparent polymer delivery devices often contain a solid lubricant coating on a stronger bulk polymer. The distribution of lubricant coating must be monitored for device optimisation appraisals and to ensure consistency during mass production. However, coating evaluation is difficult to perform as surfaces are often concealed and/or disjointed. Dye stain analysis, which is destructive and time-consuming, is the current industry standard. We present a prototype IR transmission microscope to eva ...[more]
