Confocal Detection Principle

 

Confocal Laser Scanning Raman Microscope has become a widely recognized research instrument in recent years. Confocal microscopy offers several advantages over conventional wide-field optical microscopy, including the ability to control depth of field, elimination or reduction of background information away from the focal plane and the capability to collect serial optical sections from thick samples. The image of the extended sample is generated by scanning the focused laser beam across a defined area.



 

The pinhole aperture rejects the residual scattered rays originated from any out-of-focus points on a sample.

Cosmetology


Confocal Raman microspectroscopy is a promising technique which enables measuring the skin care products as well as their penetration capability.
 

Forensics


Application areas include identification of unknown substances, different types of fibers, glasses, paints, explosive materials, inks, narcotic and toxic substances, proof of authenticity of x-x-x-x-x-documents.
 

Material science


Confocal Raman offers excellent spatial resolution for characterization of materials (superconductor, polymers, coatings, composites, carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc.).
 

Heritage and Art, Gemology

 

Raman spectroscopy allows identfication of pigments and binders used in paintings. The spectroscopic analysis of archaeological samples (ceramics, glasses, etc.) provides information on their origin and history. Raman technique allows rapid identfication of colored stones, natural and synthetic diamonds.

Major features

The highest spectral and imaging resolution with specially designed spectrometer


Specially designed imaging spectrometer incorporates many features that make it ideal for confocal Raman measurements. The image of pinhole is projected to a multichannel detector without any aberrations.

The smaller amount of illuminated pixels on the CCD matrix leads to the smaller dark counts and the higher spectral resolution.

Spectral resolution of RAMOS N500 with an Echelle grating is 0.25 cm-1.

3D scanning laser confocal Raman microscope RAMOS N500 provides the acquisition of two images within a single scan: a Rayleigh image (using laser light reflected from a sample) and a spectral image by Raman scattering.


Ultrafast imaging option allows to get confocal image in 3 sec (3 μs/pixel).

RAMOS N500 uses fast beam scanning by galvano mirrors.

Layout of galvano mirror scanner module allows mapping with no intensity losses from image center to its edges.
