Nanoparticle Raman Microscope
HORIBA ScientificRequest Info
HORIBA Scientific has announced a nanoparticle-detecting Raman microscope, combining its own Raman microscope with CytoViva Inc.’s hyperspectral imaging microscopy module and enhanced darkfield illumination.
CytoViva enhanced darkfield illumination improves signal-to-noise ratio up to ten times over standard darkfield microscopes. The detection limit in size improves sufficiently to allow visualizing nanoparticles as small as 10 nm when isolated. Integrating Raman with hyperspectral imaging and enhanced darkfield allows users to rapidly visualize the sample and target regions of interest. They can then leverage Raman measurements from the identical field of view to provide and confirm the chemical identify of nanoparticles or other sample elements.
This technology can be used in nanomaterial research, drug delivery, nanotoxicology studies, and SERS nanoparticles characterization.
