Fast and effective Raman mapping results.
SERS
Especially in the context of spectroscopy, providing the precision in spectral resolution needed is unique for me. In my work in the SERS field, it allows us to make a difference in our articles by precisely identifying specific areas and mapping them quickly and accurately.

Thank you Witec
Material characterization
I think we have achieved efficient and accurate results, but the only problem for us is that there are no service facilities in our country (Turkey) and that our training conditions are not sufficient. this situation limits our progress on Raman in our academic studies. The cost of the training is quite high. The cost of annual training to be given to at least one user for each device could have been a little more affordable. however, we successfully use the Raman spectrum in 90 percent of our academic work. Thank you Witec

Results are reliable and publishable. One can trust data analysis by software fully.
Confocal imaging of medical patches
I tried different imaging thicknesses of medical patches. Large area scanning is also possible. The instrument is handy and the software is highly user friendly

alpha300 is an excellent choice for virtually every samples we deal with in our lab.
To analyse bacterial metabolism at the single-cell level. Also, to detect clinically vital metabolit
The alpha300 R confocal Raman and accompanying software are easy to use and adaptable to other techniques (e.g., optical fibres, flow cells) for online analysis. The spectrometer provides high quality and reproducible spectral data that are employed for downstream machine learning modelling. Combined with a confocal microscope, alpha300 offers excellent imaging with high spectral and spatial resolution; this means, we can rapidly achieve valuable insights into the structural, spatial and biochemical details of samples (e.g., single bacterial cells, tissues).

The WITec alpha300 R leads the industry in speed, sensitivity and resolution. These attributes are available simultaneously and without compromise. Speed is provided by the precise mechanical components and cutting-edge electronics, sensitivity is delivered through the optimized optics and detectors, and the exceptional resolution derives from WITec’s inherently confocal architecture and the know-how accumulated in almost 20 years at the very forefront of Raman imaging.
Chemical characterization of the individual components within a sample volume is a standard mode, but the accompanying WITec Suite data acquisition software can also visualize material properties such as stress fields or crystallinity. Time-resolved investigations of fast dynamic processes can also benefit from the ultrafast spectral acquisition times.
Confocal Raman imaging microscopes are among the most powerful and versatile instruments available to today’s scientists and no other product line places the full potential of the technique into the hands of users the way WITec’s alpha300 R can. It can be configured as required by a specialized experiment, or it can upgraded as requirements and techniques evolve. It features rock-solid stability, the freedom of modularity, and a level of performance only available from the preeminent Raman imaging manufacturer, WITec.
Options include:
TrueSurface – For rough, inclined or irregularly-shaped samples. This module enables topographic Raman imaging, which keeps the surface, or a set distance below the surface, in constant focus during the measurement with little, if any, sample preparation.
TruePower – For setting the excitation laser power in absolute 0.1mW steps, with closed-loop monitoring and effortless documentation. This is not a relative power determination as is often the case with neutral density filter-based attenuators, but a real, useful and reproducible experimental parameter controlled through the same software as all other settings.
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOW) integration.
Applications:
• Pharmaceutical research (drug distribution, drug delivery systems, ...)
• Life Sciences and Biomedicine (live cell examinations, tissues, bio-mineralization ...)
• Forensics (material analyses, inks, ...)
• Materials science & nanotechnology (2D materials, nanoparticles, surface analyses, ...)
• Coatings and thin films (layer build-up and thickness, depth profiles, homogeneity ...)
• Photovoltaics and semiconductors (strain analyses, coatings, ...)
• Characterization of polymers (surface structures, crystallinity, ...)
