Renishaw unveils the Strada® Intelligent Raman Microscope: A leap forward in user-friendly, high-performance chemical analysis
Renishaw, a global leader in engineering and scientific technology, proudly announces the launch of its latest innovation—the Strada® Intelligent Raman Microscope. This new system combines the exceptional optical performance and chemical discrimination of research-grade Raman microscopes with an intuitive, user-friendly interface, making advanced chemical analysis accessible to both industrial and multi-user laboratories.
The Strada microscope is designed to accelerate sample analysis and empower users with confidence in their data. Featuring cutting-edge technology, the system delivers high sensitivity, outstanding spectral and spatial resolution, and rapid Raman data collection speeds. These capabilities are the result of Renishaw's decades-long commitment to advancing Raman instrumentation, dating back to the launch of its first Raman spectrometer in 1992.
Controlled by Renishaw's new Raman Workspace™ software, the Strada microscope offers a seamless workflow from data acquisition to analysis. The software integrates macroscopic and microscopic viewing modes, along with powerful algorithmic and AI-driven tools for data processing. Users are guided to optimal measurement settings and supported in interpreting their results, eliminating the need for advanced spectroscopy expertise.
Reliability and consistency are at the core of the Strada microscope. Automated performance optimisation routines and optional telemetry for predictive maintenance ensure the system is always ready to deliver accurate results. Laboratory managers and technicians can trust that their instrument is optimised for peak performance, day after day.
Tim Smith, Renishaw's Head of Raman Products and Applications, commented: “The Strada intelligent Raman microscope redefines what's possible in industrial analysis, establishing a new benchmark for operational excellence. Its advanced capabilities and intuitive interface unlock previously inaccessible markets, making Raman microscopy practical and beneficial for problem solving in a wide range of industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, polymer and semiconductor. With the Strada system, users gain rapid, reliable access to chemical and structural information — accelerating their material development projects and providing detailed understanding of material quality.”
