Renishaw - inVia Qontor Hilmer - Raman Microscope

Description
The inVia Qontor Hilmer is a research-grade Raman microscope located in the Hilmer building (E8). It prioritises ease of use with features like automated focus tracking and measurement queuing, while offering high-performance capabilities and a versatile range of excitation laser options (355, 532, and 830 nm) for diverse research applications.
Specifications
-
Offers various laser wavelengths (355 nm, 532 nm and 830 nm) with different gratings for optimal analysis depending on the sample.
Default settings:
- Raman using 532 nm (green) diode laser with 1800 l/mm grating
User configurable settings:
- Raman using 532 nm with 1200 l/mm grating
- Raman using 830 nm with 1200 l/mm grating
Configurations requiring lasers other than the default:
- Raman using 355 nm with 2400 l/mm grating
- Raman using 532 nm with 2400 l/mm grating
- Raman using 532 nm with 600 l/mm grating
- Raman using 532 nm (green) diode laser with 1800 l/mm grating
-
- High Resolution: Standard operation provides a laser spot size of 1.5 microns at 50x magnification. Confocal mode can achieve an even smaller spot size of 0.5 microns.
- Fast Imaging Techniques using StreamLine TM which utilises a laser line for rapid image generation.
- Fast Imaging Techniques StreamHR TM which employs a laser spot for high-resolution imaging with pixel sizes as small as 50 nm.
Applications
