Description

The inVia Reflex is a research-grade Raman microscope that provides a versatile platform for various research needs, particularly those requiring high-quality data. It's a robust and capable Raman system suitable for a wide range of applications and laser options (532, 785, 830, and 1064 nm). This instrument features 1064nm excitation that offers significant advantages in terms of fluorescence reduction.

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 532 nm (green) diode laser with 2400 l/mm grating

    User configurable settings:

    • Raman using 532 nm with 1200 l/mm grating
    • Raman using 785 nm with 1200 l/mm grating
    • Raman using 830 nm with 1200 l/mm grating

    Configurations requiring lasers other than the default:

    • Raman using 532 nm with 1800 l/mm grating
    • Raman using 532 nm with 3000 l/mm grating
    • Raman using 1064 nm with 830 l/mm grating
    • Important note: Must be reserved 48 hours prior to booking by contacting the lab via email

    • 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.
