Renishaw - inVia Qontor - Raman Microscope

Description
The inVia Qontor is a research-grade Raman microscope designed with enhanced automation features for improved ease of use. This includes features like automated focus tracking (LiveTrack), automated measurement queuing, and streamlined software for more intuitive operation. It offers high-performance Raman spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, and a range of excitation laser options(325, 442 and 514 and 633 nm) for versatile research applications..
Specifications
-
Offers various laser wavelengths (325 nm, 442 nm, 514 nm and 633 nm) with different gratings (1200 l/mm and 2400 l/mm) for optimal analysis depending on the sample.
Default settings:
- Raman using 514 nm (green) diode laser with 2400 l/mm grating
User configurable settings:
- Raman using 514 nm with 1200 l/mm grating
- Raman using 442 nm with 2400 l/mm grating
- Raman using 633 nm with 1200 l/mm grating
- Photoluminescence at 325 nm with 1200 l/mm grating
Configurations requiring lasers other than the default:
- Raman using 325 nm with 2400 l/mm grating
- Raman using 514 nm with 1800 l/mm grating
- Raman using 633 nm with 1800 l/mm grating
- Raman using 514 nm (green) diode laser with 2400 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.
- LiveTrack TM Technology: Analyses samples with uneven or rough surfaces by maintaining focus in real-time.
- 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.
