"The Raman microscope is an easy to handle high-end product. The performance stability is very satisfying. I strongly recommend it for consideration for any Raman microscopy application and especially for investigating biological samples. The system can be easily combined with other imaging modalities as for instance AFM or SEM."
The alpha300 Ri turns 3D chemical characterization upside down. Its inverted beam path preserves all the functionality of WITec’s standard alpha300 confocal Raman imaging microscopes while introducing a new angle in access and handling. The ability to view and investigate samples from below is a great advantage when working with aqueous solutions and oversized samples. Studies in life sciences, biomedicine and geosciences in particular will benefit from the consistency and flexibility provided by the geometry of the alpha300 Ri.
