| The Raman microprobe
is a popular accessory for the RAMANRXN1™ analyzers. The Raman microprobe provides
complementary microspectroscopy information on fundamental molecular
vibrations to mid-infrared FT-IR microscopes. Using excitation wavelengths
in the visible spectral region, a Raman microprobe is capable of
analyzing diffraction-limited areas (typically 1 micron). The ability
to both identify areas 10 times smaller in size than can be determined
by FT-IR microscopy and the non-contact / no sample preparation
nature of the technique are some of the many advantages of Raman
microscopy.
The Raman microprobe can be configured with optional
high-precision mapping stages and confocal optics to realize both
surface and volumetric chemical imaging. The microprobe is offered as standard with a Class 1 laser radiation light
shield for operation in a standard laboratory environment.
The combination of the fiber-coupled spectrometer
and microscope in conjunction with a thermally stabilized microscope
and high-precision motorized XYZ stage allows for routine collection
of Raman images.
Kaiser's HoloMap™ software make real-time chemical images
from Raman spectroscopy truly feasible.
