Facility & Equipment Details
Description
The central research instrument is an inVia High Resolution Confocal Raman Microspectrometer, which includes:
a 633 nm He/Ne laser (17mW)
a 457/514 nm Ar ion laser (150mW)
a 785 nm diode laser (300mW)
600, 1200, and 1800 l/mm spectrographic gratings and appropriate filters with > 30% optical throughput
a thermo-electric (TE) cooled 1024×256 CCD detector achieving a spectral resolution of 0.5 cm-1 @ 680 nm using the 1800 l/mm grating
main sampling platform is a Leica DM2500 upright microscope with computer-controlled motorized stage for XYZ mapping with <0.1 um step-size; 10x, 20x, 40x, 50x, 50xLWD, 63x and 100x objective lenses; operates in transmitted, reflected, bright field, dark field, epifluorescent, and Raman chemometric modes; DAPI, FITC, CY3, and CY5 fluorescent filter sets available; 150 mW Hg lamp for epifluorescence
Raman spatial resolution – diffraction limited to ~200 nm @ 457 nm and 100x magnification
Streamline spectrograph upgrade for rapid 2D and 3D Raman scans
Luminera Infinity 3 TE cooled camera for high-res video images and Renishaw camera for laser focusing
Linkam THMS600 Hot/Cold stage (-196 to +600°C) with T95 controller, enabling programmable local and remote control
video monitors, workstation and WiRE 4.1 software
