Available Equipment
Renishaw Raman IR Microprobe
075 CBEC
This instrument is a combination of an inVia confocal Raman microscope for Raman spectroscopy and a Smiths Detection IlluminatIR II for FTIR. The pump wavelengths for Raman spectroscopy available are 458, 514, 633 and 785 nm. With the instrument configuration, it is able to record each spectrum individually or in combination to get a Raman spectra and FTIR on the exact same spot on the sample. Samples can be film, powder, or liquid. There is also a temperature cell available to use with films or powder that has a temperature range from -173 to 600 °C.
Coming soon: Polarized Raman Spectroscopy with the ability to change the polarization of the pump and/or probe for the 514, 633 ad 785 nm Raman pump wavelengths.
