Raman microscope brings the benefits of Raman spectroscopy to a wider audience, offering a unique modular system that can be easily configured to suit a user’s requirements.
Renishaw has introduced the inVia range of Raman microscopes, offering a powerful enhancement to its existing portfolio of industrial analytical systems. The new inVia systems offer users unparalleled flexibility, sensitivity, and simplicity, for all their Raman measurement needs. The introduction of the inVia Raman microscope will bring the benefits of Raman spectroscopy to a wider audience, offering a unique modular system that can be easily configured to suit a user’s requirements. From the entry-level inVia to the fully automated inVia Reflex, components can be easily upgraded via Renishaw’s precision kinematic mounting system, giving a “future-proof” instrument that grows with a user’s measurement needs. Whichever configuration is chosen, all inVia Raman microscopes offer exceptional sensitivity. Renishaw’s RenCam CCD detector offers ultra-low signal detection with minimum noise, making it ideal for the most demanding Raman spectroscopy applications. Renishaw has also recognised that simplicity of operation is a key requirement to widen the application of Raman spectroscopy. All inVia Raman microscope systems are supplied with Renishaw’s powerful Wire 2.0 software, giving intuitive operation, data manipulation, a fully configurable interface, and data compatibility with industry standard software packages. The ability to quickly change lasers, whilst providing full optical path optimisation, also ensures a system that can easily fulfill its analytical potential. For the ultimate in Raman microscopy, the inVia Reflex Raman microscope offers a range of fully automated operations, including instrument configuration and validation after switching excitation wavelengths, alignment optimisation with built-in system performance validation, and automatic switching to confocal operation.
