The NRS-4500 Series is a purpose designed Confocal Raman Microscope with a wide functionality to make setup fast and easy. When changing lasers the selection and alignment of the laser, rejection filter and grating are fully automated. The laser spot is observed on all models including 1064nm ensuring that the sample being viewed in actually being measured. Sample identification, imaging analysis and identification can all be done in real time, speeding up the process of preparing the sample to seeing the results.
Optical Configuration
The f200 spectrograph includes up to 4 automatically selected gratings and detection by a high performance CCD or InGaAs array (with options for electron multiplying EMCCDs). The observation system includes a super resolution CMOS camera with Olympus optics and a choice of objectives from x5 to x100. Objective options include NIR and long working distance for working with heating cooling/sample stages.

Confocal Imaging
An automatic XYZ stage is used for confocal imaging with X/Y spatial resolution to 1 µm (Z=1.5 µm). Spectra Manager™ Suite with the Imaging Analysis application is used to collect a three dimensional image of the sample which can be rotated and viewed from any angle. The image map is created using peak data corresponding to key functional groups and analysis of multiple peaks can be combined to create powerful data images.
Rigid Optical Bench and Laser Image
The raman microscope has a completely rigid structure to prevent flexing and is not built around an optical microscope.
