FAQ: Molecular Spectroscopy
The DXR3 Raman Microscope offers spatial resolution as fine as 540 nm and confocal depth resolution down to 1.7 μm on ideal samples.
Point, line, area
It supports multiple excitation lasers: 455 nm, 532 nm (high brightness/power), 633 nm, and 785 nm, and 1064 nm with FT Raman module. We can offer portable units with 785 nm and 1064 nm lasers.
Yes! Automated alignment is there to ensure visual, excitation laser and Raman scatter are precisely aligned to the same spot. Automated alignment software-controlled tool includes all calibration standards for automated calibration (wavelength, Raman intensity and laser) and automated alignment of visual, excitation laser and Raman scatter beam paths. All this in less than a few minutes!
Yes, it can perform point-and-shoot sampling through plastic bags, glass containers, and blister packs with both portable and lab spectrometers
You can analyze particles down to a few microns. Thermo FT-IR microscope can analyze samples as small as 3 microns with a MicroTip Ge ATR crystal. Room-temperature detectors are suitable for samples down to 50 microns, eliminating the need for LN2 in many routine applications. Higher-sensitivity MCT detectors generally require cooling but enable analysis down to the micron level.
We can offer different models that can accommodate samples up to 40 mm thick and 5 kg in mass, or standalone microscope up to 20 mm with standard holders.
Yes, both FT-IR and Raman microscope offer IMAGING analysis or upgrade to imaging.
We can offer different modules for upgrade: ATR, HATR, specular reflectance, diffuse reflectance, PIKE, Specac modules, sample compartment Raman accessory, NIR module with Integrating Sphere and Fiber Optic connections, TGA-IR accessory, GC-IR module.
The choice depends on the application and the nature of the analyte. If the analyses involve organic molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, or pharmaceutical substances, the UV range (190-380 nm) is essential. For colorimetric analyses, quality control, water testing, and food samples, the VIS range (380-900 nm) is often sufficient.
