The Raman Spectrometer XploRA Plus is a compact and fully automated micro-spectrometer using the vibrational Raman spectroscopy and an AFM for combined Raman-AFM and TERS. The operation modes combine confocal Raman, fluorescence and photoluminescesce imaging and spectroscopy, through external manipulators and probes.
