Raman spectroscopy with your microscope!
Optical microscopes are standard in many laboratories, typically serving as magnifying tools to enhance sample visibility. However, with CRAIC Technologies' innovative enhancements, including a laser and a Raman spectrometer integrated through an advanced optical interface, these microscopes can do so much more!
CRAIC Raman spectrometers are specifically designed for micro Raman spectroscopy of microscopic samples or tiny areas within larger objects. While a standard Raman spectrometer measures samples around 1 x 1 centimeters, the Raman microspectrometer can measure samples as small as 1 x 1 micrometers—much thinner than a human hair. The Apollo Raman systems are modular units that attach to upright optical microscopes, adding powerful micro Raman spectroscopy capabilities. With CRAIC Technologies' products, you can rapidly and non-destructively acquire high-quality Raman spectra from sub-micron samples with ease.
As illustrated, the Apollo Raman module integrates seamlessly with the frame of an upright optical microscope. This module includes lasers, a Raman spectrometer, and integration optics. The laser illuminates the sample, and the Raman spectrometer measures the light collected by the objective and focused onto the spectrometer's entrance aperture.
CRAIC Raman microspectrometers offer even more versatility. They can be configured to measure UV-VIS-NIR microspectra™ in transmission, reflectance, fluorescence, and photoluminescence. Additionally, they are capable of microspot thin film thickness and colorimetry measurements.
With CRAIC Technologies, elevate your microscope’s functionality and unlock advanced analytical capabilities that go far beyond simple magnification.
