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. |
