Jobin
Yvon, world leaders in Raman microscopy have announced the
introduction of the unique LabRam IR. This instrument combines for
the first time upon a single benchtop system both confocal Raman
microscopy and FTIR micro-spectroscopy. The instrument has been
awarded the Pittcon GOLD award for the most innovative new product
for analytical measurements, with it´s simplicity in operation,
high performance and compactness being of particular note.
The Raman microscope
incorporated into the system is based around the established high
performance of the LabRam series of Raman microscopes, offering
optimal micron scale spatial and depth descrimination, multiple laser
options, and automated XYZ axis mapping.
The FTIR module is hard
coupled to the base unit and provides fast FTIR micro-analysis with
both contact and non-contact IR optimised objectives. Integration of
the module enables quick and easy selection of the required
spectroscopic mode.
The SameSPOT
technology enables for the first time, measurements to be made with
both spectroscopic modes at the same spot on the sample . The
specialised sampling objectives even allow for visual interrogation
of the sample and for both spectroscopic analyses to be conducted
with the same objective - a real step forward in providing precise
analytical characterisation.
The resultant Raman and
FTIR performance is optimal providing performance comparable to the
very best single mode instruments available whilst the single unit
design provides both space and cost savings over the use conventional
separate Raman and FTIR instrumentation.
