The microscope enables high-speed Raman imaging for life science applications
Research and development tools manufacturer Oxford Instruments has launched the witec360 Raman Microscope with the Hexalight spectrometer for confocal Raman imaging and analysis.
“With its modular architecture, the witec360 is ideal for multidisciplinary laboratories and core facilities. It allows scientists to configure their system to meet diverse research demands and stay at the forefront of discovery,” said Raman microscopy product manager Sabrina Hakelberg.
The system offers improved light transmission and automation, and an optimised confocal beam path from laser to detector. Available in both standard and inverted configurations, the microscope enables precise, high-speed Raman imaging for applications in life science, as well as materials science and semiconductor research.
The system’s Hexalight spectrometer features lenses that deliver optical throughput from 350 to 1,100nm. Its harmonic drive positions up to six gratings to ensure enhanced spectral resolution and flexibility.
“The witec360 with Hexalight represents a step forward in Raman microscopy,” said general manager of Raman Microscopy, Oxford Instruments Dr Benjamin Tordoff.
