Performance and sensitivity

invia close 300All inVia Raman microscopes benefit from patented features such as EasyConfocal™ and Synchroscan™, giving the inVia the advantage in performance and ease of use.

Exceptional sensitivity comes as standard in all inVia Raman microscopes, offering ultra-low signal detection with minimum noise. 

No other Raman microscope offers the same levels of upgradability, flexibility, sensitivity, and ease-of-use in one instrument.

Key features

  • EasyConfocal™ - Patented method of obtaining confocal Raman measurements. Identical confocal performance as common pinhole confocal configuration, but easier to use. EasyConfocal™ - better by design.
  • SynchroScan™ - Patented method of generating artefact-free Raman and photoluminescence data in a single acquisition. Better sensitivity and faster than alternative methods.
  • Full optical path optimisation - The inVia has been designed with wavelength optimised multiple beam paths, ensuring that maximum laser power is delivered to the sample for all wavelengths.
  • Complete automation solutions - The level of automation to suite your requirements including full system health check and auto-align functionality.
