Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique that provides information about vibrational and rotational transitions in molecules that can be used for detailed chemical analysis of solids, powders, liquids, and gases. This fast and non-destructive measurement technique can be applied to a wide range of applications including fundamental research, routine process control and materials identification.
We have over 40 years of experience in sales and technical support of scientific instrumentation . We can help you decide on the appropriate equipment for your needs.
Incorporating unique and powerful functions in a reliable, high performance system, ideally suited to the research and analytical lab, the XploRA PLUS is Horiba’s best multi-sample, multi-user Raman microscope ever. It is fully confocal, not compromising image quality, spatial or depth resolution. The SWIFT Fast Raman images are the fastest fully confocal Raman images available, typically 10x faster than conventional Raman imaging. The simplicity and power of the XploRA PLUS is unmatched with an enhanced range of options such as multiple laser wavelengths, EMCCD detection, Raman polarisation and even Raman-AFM combination.
Key Features
Future-proof Expansion
Automated particle location and chemical ID with particle finder
The LabRAM HR Evolution systems are ideally suited to both micro and macro measurements, and offer advanced confocal imaging capabilities in 2D and 3D. The true confocal microscope enables the most detailed images and analyses to be obtained with speed and confidence. With guaranteed high performance and intuitive simplicity, the LabRAM HR Evolution is the ultimate instrument for Raman spectroscopy. They are widely used for standard Raman analysis, photoluminescence (PL), tip enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) and other hybrid methods.
Key Features
HORIBA’s leading Raman technology is now integrated with AIST-NT’s scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The NanoRamanTM platform integrates Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) that can provide physical sample information on the nanometer scale, including topography, hardness, adhesion, friction, surface potential, electrical and thermal conductivity, temperature and piezo response (among many others), near-field optical techniques (SNOM or NSOM), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), tuning fork techniques (Shear-force and Normal-force imaging modes), electrochemistry, all together with the chemical information obtained from Raman spectroscopy. The end result is a more comprehensive sample characterization in one versatile instrument, for fast simultaneous co-localized measurements and Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS)..
TERS brings you the best of both worlds: the chemical specificity of Raman spectroscopy with imaging at spatial resolution typically down to 10nm.
Key Features
Raman imaging is a powerful technique for generating detailed chemical images based on a sample’s Raman spectrum. A complete spectrum is acquired at each and every pixel of the image, and then interrogated to generate false colour images based on material composition, phase, crystallinity and strain.
The SWIFT™ Ultra-fast Raman Imaging module offers drastically reduces measurement times with acquisition times down to <5ms/point, allowing large area survey scans, 3D confocal volume mapping and detailed Raman images to be completed in seconds or minutes!
HORIBA Scientific offers a range of novel technologies for Raman imaging:
Key Features
The new range of modular Raman spectrometers from HORIBA Scientific allows the user to build a Raman experiment from the ground up and to undertake high performance Raman spectroscopy at a price to fit most budgets.
High performance spectrometers: The modular iHR spectrometer is an ideal system for coupling to a fluorescence microscope or to a SNOM head, and can be used with HORIBA’s own range of dedicated Raman sampling options to provide a complete Raman spectroscopy system with either a confocal fibre-microscope or fibre-optic sampling probe.
Powerful LabSPEC software: The LabSPEC 6 spectral software suite used on all the HORIBA Jobin Yvon analytical and research Raman spectrometer systems is now also available for the iHR modular Raman systems. It has been designed and written as a dedicated Raman spectroscopy package and offers many powerful capabilities not found in a basic spectroscopy software.
