… Atomic Force Microscopes, Pulsed Force Mode AFM). WITec offers the AlphaSNOM using unique cantilever technology, the Confocal Raman Microscope CRM 200 designed for highest sensitivity and resolution and the Mercury 100 AFM with the integrated Digital Pulsed Force Mode for material research and nanotechnology. Modular design guarantees high flexibility and easy upgrade possibilities.

New spectrometer for Raman Microscopy

WITec, a specialist in high resolution microscopy has introduced the UHTS 300, a new Raman spectrometer designed specifically for Confocal Raman Microscopy. Its ultrahigh throughput enables nearly twice as much transmission as conventional spectrometers. High transmission is extremely important in Raman Spectral Imaging, which requires thousands of Raman spectra to be acquired in a few minutes. With the UHTS 300, the acquisition time for a single Raman spectrum per image pixel is far less than 100 ms. The new spectrometer delivers exceptional image quality and will be supplied as an optional component for the WITec Confocal Raman Microscopy System CRM 200. Chemical information with resolution down to 200 nm laterally and 0,02 wavenumbers spectrally can be easily obtained with this highly-sensitive instrument.
