- Description: based on a triple Raman spectrometer equipped with an
open frame microscope that can work in conjunction with cryostats
(available in the laboratory), AFM, and additional inverted
microscopes. Detection is provided by two CCDs detectors optimized for
work in 300-600 nm and 550-1100 nm spectral range, respectively. Two
laser sources are currently operational – a HeNe laser 17 mW, a tunable
Ar laser operating at 488 and 514 nm. The instrumentation is also
capable to measure fluorescence emission. A motorized XYZ microscope
stage moving at steps as small as 0.1 microns allows 2D and 3D chemical
mapping. Z-motion (focus direction) can also be control through an
autofocus system. A mapping scan with the Raman Microscope generates a
hyperspectral image of which each pixel contains a full Raman or
fluorescence spectrum.
