Applications
RAMAN MULTIPLEXING
Because of its high throughput, RIMA™ allows the acquisition of spectrally resolved maps of large area samples, without damaging the surface.
CNT IN YEAST
Global Raman imaging is an exceptional technique for the analysis of large surfaces of thin films and advanced materials. Its rapidity makes it a great tool not only for universities and research institutes, but also for industrial laboratories.
