The instrument allows topological images of biological samples, e.g. tissues and cells. It can be used as a nano-manipulation instrument, allowing modifications of the morphology of a substrate. For biological systems, it also allows the nano-stimulation of the sample.

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.

Wide-range FTIR spectrometer from 80 to 10,000 cm-1. Accessories are a liquid nitrogen cooled cryostat for measurements in transmission and an ATIR cell with diamond window for measurements of powders.
