WITec alpha300 Apyron Confocal Raman

Main content start

Training on the WITec alpha300 Apyron will begin the week of Jan 5, 2026. 


 

Overview

Confocal Raman spectroscopy and imaging provides specific chemical information about your materials with sub-micron spatial resolution. Typical Raman applications include 

- Chemical Identification & Mapping
- Non-Destructive, Label-Free Analysis
- Depth Profiling & 3D Analysis
- Crystallinity & Phase Identification 

The WITec alpha300 apyron features:

  • 2 laser sources: 532 nm, 785 nm with notch filters (RayShield) that allow users to measure down to 10 cm-1 and evaluate both Stokes and Anti-Stokes Raman.
  • Three detectors to optimize performance and detect visible to Near IR:Visible: 
    High Quantum Efficiency Back Illuminated EMCCD Camera (500-700 nm) | Gratings 600 & 1800 grooves/mm
    Near-IR: High Performance Low-dark current CCD Camera (550-950 nm) | Gratings 300 & 1200 grooves/mm
    Extended Near-IR: InGaAs Spectroscopy Camera (1000-1600nm) | Gratings 150 & 600 grooves/mm
  • Laser power adjustment with TruePower™ - Optimal laser power determination for the preservation of delicate samples and reproducibility
  • TrueSurface™ - WITec's patented microscopy option uses an advanced optical profilometer integrated within the instrument to provide one-pass simultaneous acquisition of both topographic and molecular information.
  • Motorized Polarization option - a polarization kit for rotating the polarization of the laser light and an analyzer for analyzing material properties that are polarization dependent.
  • Compatible with Linkam Heating and Cooling Stage (-190°C - 250°C) with Electrical Contacts
