Craic Technologies, San Dimas, Calif., has added Raman microspectroscopy to its flagship product, the 20/30 Perfect Vision microspectrophotometer. Users of the 20/30 PV now have the ability to acquire Raman spectra, with 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 micron scale samples rapidly and easily.
Better yet, it is able to acquire all these spectra from the same area because it features proprietary optical aperturing technology. Additionally, 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.
“CRAIC Technologies has long been an innovator in the field of UV-visible-NIR microanalysis. We have helped to advance the field of microscale analysis by constantly developing new instrumentation as well as with research and teaching.
The 20/30 PV™ microspectrophotometer is a self-contained unit that features advanced UV-visible-NIR light sources, solid state lasers, true UV-visible-NIR microscopy, sensitive Lightblades spectrometers, and sophisticated Lambdafire, spectral and imaging software. Raman microspectroscopy is added with the Apollo Raman microspectroscopy packages. Each Apollo is a self-contained package including laser, spectrometer and hardware.
