The inVia Qontor advanced Raman microscope comes with LiveTrack focus tracking technology, which enables users to analyze samples with uneven, curved or rough surfaces. Optimum focus is maintained in real time during data collection and white light video viewing. This removes the need for time-consuming manual focusing, pre-scanning or sample preparation.
The microscope, equipped with the tracking technology, enables the acquisition of accurate and reproducible spectra from samples with extensive topographic variations. Because a sample’s topography no longer limits Raman imaging capability, the tracking technology opens up the analysis to more samples and applications.
With the tracking technology, focusing is dynamic because it provides continuous feedback to the sample stage which adjusts to follow the height of the sample. This ensures the laser maintains focus during data collection and when manually moving the sample during white light video viewing. Optimum focus is maintained across uneven, sloping or dynamic samples, limited only by the maximum travel of the stage.
The microscope enables the analysis of samples that were previously impractical to study, or would have required extensive sample preparation. For example, uneven geological samples that normally require sectioning and polishing can now be analysed without any sample preparation. Renishaw
