Overview

Nanofinder®HE is a high end microspectroscopy system designed for combined Raman and AFM measurement. Not only confocal Raman measurements but also AFM-Raman/TERS measurements are available with AFM system combined. Switchable microscope configurations such as upright, inverted, transmission are available with a single AFM at single measurement site. The system is equipped with build-in spectrum calibration source and automatical confocal alignment facilities.Up to 4 excitation lasers are available with fully automatical switching. Computer controlled optical path can be exchanged for UV, VIS or NIR spectral range.

“Large Area Scan option” – Fast mapping of big samples

・Raman mapping with step motor stage of millimeter, centimeter or even larger scanning area.
・Fast scan by synchronized constant speed sample movement and data collection.
・Easy switching between point scan and fast scan.
・Combinable with “Line Scan” option.
※Stepping motor stage is required for this scan option.
