WITec Confocal Raman Microscope alpha300R

Raman imaging is non-destructive imaging techniques, no staining of fixation of sample is required. Raman imaging generates hyperspectral images with the information of a complete Raman spectrum at every image pixel. WITec alpha300R confocal Raman microscope enables confocal Raman imaging (both surface-scan and depth-scan) with excellent resolution and capability of time series. The ultra-high throughput spectroscopic system guarantees high sensitivity and best performance in spectral resolution.
