alpha300 Ri Inverted Raman Microscope

Inverted confocal Raman imaging   

WITec alpha300 Ri Inverted Raman Microscope   

Features

• Inverted beam path allows for liquid samples
• Motorised sample stage
• Bulky samples easily accommodated
• Compatible with other microscopy techniques such as:
  • Fluorescence
  • Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)
  • Phase-contrast etc.

WITec's award-winning alpha300 Ri uses an inverted beam path to afford viewing and investigation from below. This is a great advantage when working with aqueous solutions or oversized samples.

With all the functionality of the standard alpha300 confocal Raman imaging microscope, the geometry of the alpha300 Ri will benefit scientists working in life sciences, geosciences, and biomedicine.
