RAMANtouch

The World's Fastest Raman Imaging

The RAMANtouch is a completely new approach compared to traditional Raman microscopes - and that's why it achieves the impossible. Maximum imaging speed without any loss of spectral quality or spatial resolution.

RAMANtouch uses line-shaped laser illumination and a two-dimensional CCD to capture 400 spectra in one exposure. With laser scanning via galvanometer scanners, RAMANtouch achieves rapid and accurate Raman imaging of hundreds of thousands of pixels within minutes - no EMCCD required.

Features:

• Ultra high-speed Raman imaging (400 spectra at once)
• The highest resolution with any objective lenses
• Completely automated hardware
• Laser Point Mode - perfect focus spot even at the edge of the field-of-view
• Laser Point Mode - Hundreds times faster than motorized stage
• Laser Point Mode - Up to 10 nm positioning accuracy
• Wide range of excitation lasers from 325 to 785 nm
• Laser safty class I door with interlock
• Exceptional 3D Raman Imagin Capabilities
• Auto-calibration and auto-alignment

Line shaped laser

The use of a galvanometric mirror is an innovative scanning method in which a laser beam can freely scan the point under the objective lens - without having to move the sample stage! In terms of both precision and speed, it far surpasses conventional "table scanning". In addition, the laser beam is incident perpendicular to the observation plane, regardless of whether you are in the center of the field of view or at the edge. This allows for special measurement modes like Laser Line Scanning. Scan the surface of your sample with high spectral and spatial resolution at highest speed and maximum accuracy.

Depth profiling

The advantages in measurement speed of line laser technology are extremely useful where depth profiling in the z-axis using confocal optics is required. The RAMANtouch microscope offers truly unprecedented speed in these applications. An example can be seen in the video below, where PET tubes with PE packing and TiO2 filler (yellow) are analysed. The 3D map was measured in just 20 minutes.
