Raman microscopy

inVia Raman Microscope

The Renishaw inVia Raman microscope is a high-performance research instrument for advanced Raman spectroscopy, confocal imaging, and materials characterization. The system integrates a precision Leica optical microscope with a highly sensitive Raman spectrometer, enabling detailed chemical and structural analysis at the microscale.

Optical Microscope Platform
• Research-grade Leica DM 2500M microscope (Germany) optimized for high-precision confocal measurements
• Bright-field and reflected-light illumination
• Integrated binocular observation system with built-in digital camera
• Objective lenses: 5×, 20×, 50×
• Manual high-precision XY stage for sample positioning

Excitation Source
• High-power Renishaw 785 nm diode laser, 500 mW, air-cooled
• Integrated plasma line filter for enhanced spectral purity
• Motorized laser attenuators providing 16 power levels (0.00005% – 100%) for delicate or highly sensitive samples.

Capabilities
• High-resolution Raman spectroscopy with a spatial resolution down to ~1 µm (depending on the objective lens)
• Chemical and phase analysis
• Characterization of strain, defects, crystallinity, and composition
• Non-destructive, with flexible laser power control for sensitive materials
• Renishaw WiRE™ 5.6 software for complete instrument control with integrated tools for spectral processing, peak fitting, and baseline correction
• Suitable for semiconductors, polymers, thin films, ceramics, nanomaterials, and biological samples
