23 Oct 2008 A new Raman video microscope sampling system has been developed by B&WTek for precision sampling during Raman spectroscopy analysis. The BAC151 video microscope adapter enables portable Raman microscopy, bringing microscopic Raman analysis out of the lab to wherever it’s needed. When coupled with B&WTek’s portable Raman spectrometers, this video microscope system provides the advantages of Raman microscopy at a fraction of the cost of most research instruments.
The system includes an integrated camera and LED illuminator to allow precision spot sampling. Focusing and positioning of the excitation laser beam is facilitated by the video camera, which provides imaged details of the sampling spots. The platform adds a coaxial and off-axis white LED illuminator (interchangeable), enabling convenient alignment and viewing of the measurement field. With a 100x objective, a 20 μm spot size is achieved. |
