The World's First Laser Raman and Fluorescence Inverted Microscope.

For Biological and life science applications in particular, the conventional upright optical microscope has many limitations. For Instance, cellular samples are often routinely studied with an inverted microscope due to their structure and properties. It is often the case that several types of measurement technique are advantageous - for example fluorescence images, white light images and specific spectroscopic data.

The next dimension in analysis then comes from the capability of the LabRam INV to combine inverted optical microscopy with laser induced Raman and Fluorescence spectroscopic information. With highly specific spectral information, a precise characterisation of the sample is possible. Details not usually accessible with normal imaging modes become apparent such as specific molecular identification, phase determination, and other subtle molecular bonding effects. The true confocal spectroscopy configuration of the instrument provides spatial discrimination on the micron scale.
