Great results, highly reproducible, very easy to use
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area: Analyzing the different biomarkers in tissue samples

"I have used the Xplora Raman microscope for 3 year. It gives very good results that are highly reproducible. The main strength of this instrument is ease of use. Very easy to handle, quick focus and higher resolution. If anyone willing to buy an Raman instrument, then go for it. Fully worth it."

The XploRA™ is a new concept in Raman microscopy, bringing Raman chemical identification directly to your microscope. The XploRA can be coupled to both upright and inverted microscopes, allowing analysis of all sample types, ranging from semiconductors and nano-materials, through to biological cells and tissues.

The system provides the established performance of HORIBA Scientific Raman microscopes at a surprising price. Combining microscopy and chemical analysis the XploRA™ retains the full functionality of your microscope coupled with high performance Raman spectroscopy.

The concept of the XploRA™ is straightforward – a smarter microscopy. A compact, high performance Raman spectrometer is coupled to a research grade optical microscope (upright or inverted geometry), allowing both standard optical microscopy and detailed chemical analysis on a single system.

The unique design ensures full capability of the optical microscope, and complete flexibility, full automation and true research performance of the Raman analyzer.
