RISE Microscopy - Correlative Raman Imaging and Scanning Electron Microscopy (Raman-SEM)
World's first fully-integrated Raman Imaging and Scanning Electron Microscope
RISE Microscopy is a novel correlative microscopy technique that combines SEM and confocal Raman Imaging. Through RISE Microscopy ultra-structural surface properties can be linked to molecular compound information.
The RISE Microscope combines all features of a stand-alone SEM and the confocal Raman imaging microscope alpha300 within one instrument:
- Quick and convenient switching between Raman and SEM measurement
- Automated sample transfer from one measuring position to the other
- Integrated software interface for user-friendly measurement control
- Correlation of the measurement results and image overlay
- No compromise in SEM and Raman imaging capabilities
