Craic Technologies, San Dimas, Calif., has added Raman microspectroscopy to its 20/30 Perfect Vision microspectrophotometer. Users of the 20/30 PV now have the ability to acquire Raman spectra by integrating the new Apollo II Raman microspectrometer with the 20/30 PV. Together, these two systems offer multiple laser wavelengths, in addition to UV-visible-NIR absorbance, reflectance, fluorescence, and emission microspectra.
The 20/30 PV is able to acquire all these types of spectra on micron scale samples rapidly and easily. In addition, the 20/30 PV is able to acquire all these spectra from the same area, because it features Craic Technologies proprietary optical aperturing technology. Also, the 20/30 PV features the ability to acquire images of these same microscopic samples in the UV, visible, and NIR regions.
The applications for such a multi-purpose instrument are numerous. For example, the 20/30 PV is used to develop the latest advanced materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, to analyze forensic samples, and to measure thin film thickness in the semiconductor industry. Giving this instrument the ability to analyze the Raman spectra of microscopic samples in addition to UV-visible-NIR and fluorescence microspectroscopy makes the 20/30 PV the cutting-edge micro-analysis tool for any laboratory or manufacturing facility.
The Apollo II is a self contained package including laser, spectrometer and hardware that is integrated with the cutting-edge 20/30 PV microspectrophotometer, giving you multiple methods to analyze microscopic samples rapidly and easily.
