Confocal Microspectrophotometer for UV/VIS/NIR and Raman

The CRAIC 20/30PV microspectrophotometer is designed for the detailed characterization of microscopic samples across the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared (UV-vis-NIR) spectrum. It integrates an optical microscopy column with spectroscopy, and digital imaging, to facilitate a comprehensive range of microscale analyses. This includes the measurement of transmission, absorbance, reflectance, fluorescence, and photoluminescence spectra from sample areas smaller than a micron. The system also incorporates high-resolution digital imaging capabilities in the UV, visible, and NIR ranges, allowing for the simultaneous capture of spectral data and visual images of samples. This is supported a range of objective lenses for varying magnification needs, a manual positioning stage for precise sample manipulation, and dual laser sources for Raman spectroscopy. The inclusion of polarization microspectroscopy and photoluminescence imaging options further extends its utility in analyzing the optical properties of complex materials.

The CRAIC 20/30PV is managed via the Lambdafire™ software, providing a simplified interface for data acquisition.
