Key advantages

Maximum optical throughput

Transmission diffraction optics at up to 85% efficiency capture even extremely weak Raman signals.

Patented calibration

Real-time automatic compensation of laser drift — absolute wavenumber reproducibility.

High confocal resolution

Lateral resolution down to 800–900 nm and axial down to 2.5–3 µm: sub-micron objects and deep-lying layers.

Modular design

Converts from upright to inverted microscope for different sample types and cell cultures.

Full spectral coverage

Integration of lasers from UV 405 nm to near-infrared 830 nm.
