New Raman Navigation Application Package Allows for Easy Navigation and Sharp, Rapid Raman Imaging
17 Feb 2017
HORIBA Scientific, global leader in Raman spectroscopy for over 50 years, is proud to announce the launch of their new EasyNav package featuring three revolutionary applications, NavMap, NavSharp and ViewSharp. These three software modules enable Raman users to navigate images while remaining in-focus, to easily identify the region of interest, and obtain sharp, rapid Raman chemical images for a large variety of samples.
Navigate easily through your image with NavMap application
NavMap is a new video feature that shows the global sample and the zoomed region of interest within the sample, simultaneously, in real-time. This ensures straightforward navigation and identification of the region of interest. The user never loses sight of the region of interest.
Navigate your sharp image in real-time with NavSharp application
NavSharp technology delivers sharp and real-time navigation on a sample image with any topography. The surface focus is readjusted automatically with the use of an automated Z sample stage. NavSharpTM offers sharp path imaging, and optimum focus at all times, even on rough samples. .
Construct a 3D topography and acquire rapid, in-focus Raman images with ViewSharp application
ViewSharp technology constructs an image in which all surfaces are in focus simultaneously, and creates a 3D topography image. ViewSharp guarantees the highest focal quality in Raman images, by using the recorded topography which corresponds to the best focus of any pixel of the image. There is no longer a need to do an automatic focus point by point, making 3D chemical Raman imaging faster than ever!
Cédric Marchessoux, Software Product Manager at HORIBA Scientific comments, “The EasyNav package dramatically improves every aspect of Raman imaging experience, reaching a new level of innovation and speed to make this the most advanced sharp and rapid Raman imaging solution currently available. EasyNav , which is compatible with HORIBA’s LabRAM HR Evolution and XploRA Series Raman microscopes, offers a user-friendly navigation tool to deliver a powerful user experience for all Raman users.”
The new EasyNav package is currently available.

XploRA - Raman microscopy
HORIBA ScientificThe 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.
XploRA INV - Inverted Raman Microscope
HORIBA ScientificOptimized Raman Solution for Life Sciences from HORIBA Scientific The XpIoRA INV is an inverted Raman microscope designed specifically for use with biological samples requiring analysis from the bottom and/or open access to the sample from the top. Like all other XpIoRA series of Raman microscopes, the INV features a small footprint, complete automation (autofocus, autoexposure, autovalidation, autocalibration), and ease of use. Applications:• cell research • disease detection • characterisation of drug-cell interactions • pharmaceutical verification of intercellular activities In addition, the inverted geometry allows easy incorporation of AFM units for combined Raman-AFM and TERS (Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) for highest spatial resolution sample visualisation. The open structure of the XploRA INV also permits the use of virtually all options and add-ons for inverted microscopes, including micro manipulators and “optical tweezers”, specific enclosures for cell applications, etc. The XploRA INV also offers the option to integrate the unique scanning capabilities of HORIBA’s patented DuoScan for rapid spectroscopic multichannel Raman imaging, as well as the new 3D FCI (Fast Confocal Imaging) module, which allows ultra-fast fluorescence imaging for visualisation and verification.
