Raman Imaging at the Speed of Light

Horiba Jobin Yvon has introduced two new fast Raman scanning technologies Swift and Duoscan. Swift Scanning with Incredibly Fast Times enables unmatched per pixel measurement times as fast as 7ms. A 50,000 spectrum image can be obtained in six minutes. It can be used with a choice of different detectors and uses either standard motorised mapping stages or piezo stages for when very small step sizes are required. Duoscan introduces a revolutionary scanning method. Unique scanning hardware enables the image pixel size to be chosen to match features of interest enabling optimised mapping speeds. Unlike many Raman imaging methods it retains the full confocal advantage of the Raman technique without restriction on laser wavelength.
