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 manipulators and probes.

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.
Technical description
The RAMAN Microscope includes 3 internal lasers (532, 638 and 785 nm) combined with 12 density filters levels and 4 gratings (600, 1200, 1800 and 2400 g/mm) to cover all the UV-Vis range with maximum resolution. The wavelength range covers from 75 up to 4000 cm-1.
Research areas and applications
Nanostructured materials characterization; spatial characterizations; 3D Raman imaging; polymers; pharmaceuticals; gem investigation and mineral phases.
