RAMAN-SEM MICROSCOPES (RISE) – OXFORD INSTRUMENTS (WITec)

Origin: Germany

Category: Thương hiệu:

The Raman-SEM microscope is the world’s first fully integrated system combining Raman spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in a single instrument.
With its novel correlative microscopy approach, RISE merges the ultrastructural surface analysis capability of SEM with molecular compound information from confocal Raman imaging. The system enables seamless switching between Raman and SEM measurements, supported by a user-friendly software interface for intuitive control.
The RISE microscope not only maintains the full performance of both techniques but also provides precise correlation between the measurement results.

RAMAN-SEM MICROSCOPES (RISE) – OXFORD INSTRUMENTS (WITec)

THE RISE TECHNIQUE:

For RISE microscopy, samples are automatically transferred from one measuring position to the other within the vacuum chamber of the SEM, streamlining the workflow and drastically improving the instrument’s ease of use.

RISE KEY FEATURES:

Scanning Electron Microscopy

Confocal Raman Microscopy

Scanning Electron Microscopy features a variety of analysis techniques. With RISE, the chemistry of molecular compounds can be imaged additionally.

  • Confocal Raman Imaging with unprecedented performance in speed, sensitivity, and resolution
  • Hyperspectral image generation with the information of a complete Raman spectrum at every image pixel
  • Excellent diffraction-limited lateral resolution of 200 – 300 nm
  • Outstanding depth resolution ideally suited for 3D image generation and depth profiles
  • Ultrahigh-throughput lens-based spectroscopic system for highest sensitivity and best performance in spectral resolution
  • Ultra-fast Raman imaging option with only 0.76 ms integration time per spectrum
    Non-destructive imaging technique: no staining or fixation of the sample required
