Combined Raman systems

Couple your Renishaw inVia™ confocal Raman microscope or Virsa™ Raman analyser to other analytical instruments and gain multimodal imaging capabilities. Renishaw's Raman spectrometers have been successfully combined with a wide range of analytical techniques including atomic force microscopy (AFM) with tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM), nanoindentation, and infrared (IR) thermography. In addition, Renishaw Raman instruments can be configured for photoluminescence (PL) and photocurrent imaging.

For an efficient workflow, you can analyse your sample with two or more characterisation techniques on a single integrated instrument. With Renishaw's correlative microscopy systems, you can be confident that you are analysing the same point with more than one technique. Explore some of our combined Raman systems below.

invia Raman microscope hybrid system

SPM/AFM Raman

You can combine the inVia™ Raman microscope with a wide range of scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) and atomic force microscopes (AFMs) to reveal complementary information such as topography and mechanical properties. Add tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) for nanometre-scale chemical resolution.

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)

Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM)

FLIM can be integrated with an inVia Raman microscope to collect a spatial image showing the fluorescence lifetime of a fluorophore. FLIM is used in cell biology for environmental sensing, monitoring molecular interactions, and fluorophore identification.

Photocurrent imaging

Photocurrent imaging

Equip your inVia confocal Raman microscope to map photocurrents generated from the incident laser light. Photocurrent mapping of photovoltaic devices reveals the electronic, optical, and charge transport properties of the material.

Photoluminescence

Photoluminescence

Use photoluminescence (PL) to study the electronic properties of materials. You can configure your inVia microscope to study crystal defects, atomic vacancies and substitutions. PL is useful for analysing materials like photovoltaics, semiconductors and gemstones.

Nanoindentation


Nanoindentation

Combine the power of the inVia Raman microscope with nanoindentation measurements and directly correlate mechanical and tribological properties with chemical information such as crystallinity, polymorphism, phase and stress.

On-demand webinar: Combining Raman spectroscopy with other techniques, for data rich science

Raman spectroscopy is often one tool amongst the many required to solve complex research challenges. Renishaw has developed the inVia microscope to be used in conjunction with other techniques, to collect correlated data and to build a better picture of the science underpinning your samples. In this webinar, we will present Raman data collected in conjunction with other techniques such as photocurrent measurements, PL, SEM, AFM, topography measurements, and Rayleigh scattering.
