Raman Spectroscopy
XploRA™ Concept
The concept of the XploRA™ is straightforward – a smarter microscopy. A compact, high performance Raman spectrometer is coupled to a research grade optical microscope (upright or inverted geometry), allowing both standard optical microscopy and detailed chemical analysis on a single system.
The unique design ensures full capability of the optical microscope, and complete flexibility, full automation and true research performance of the Raman analyzer.
