Confotec - Model NR500 -3D Scanning Laser Confocal Raman Microscope
Confocal microscope Confotec NR500 is a high-precision, fully automated 3D scanning laser Raman microscope with a spectrometer.
Confotec® NR500 is designed for rapid non-destructive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of micro-objects and nanostructures, and for obtaining information on the substance by means of optical spectroscopy.
Confocal microscope Confotec® NR500 can be combined with a scanning probe microscope to obtain nanometer spatial resolution in Raman and photoluminescent mapping of the TERS and TEPL sample (Probe Enhanced Raman and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy).
