The Raman facility is supported by the National Science Foundation (EAR 2050246) as part of the Arizona LaserChron Center.
Facility Equipment:
The Renishaw inVia Qontor confocal Raman microscope is capable of spectroscopy, mapping and live focus/topography tracking.
The new inVia Qontor is Renishaw’s most advanced Raman microscope. With the addition of Renishaw’s latest innovation, LiveTrackTM focus tracking technology, the inVia Qontor enables users to analyse samples with uneven, curved or rough surfaces. Optimum focus is maintained in real time during data collection and white light video.
