New Raman microscope enables high-resolution materials analysis
Article Type: New materials and equipment From: Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, Volume 61, Issue 4
Materials scientists, engineers and academic researchers can analyze materials and accelerate their research in applications ranging from pharmaceutical formulation and life sciences to semiconductor manufacturing and geology using a new Raman imaging microscope, highlighted today at Analytica. The Thermo Scientific DXRxi Raman imaging microscope is so easy to operate that scientists of all abilities can simply walk up and use it to produce stunning chemical images without learning a new technique.
Designed to quickly reveal molecular structure, chemical composition and sample morphology, the microscope can provide new insights, identify defects and confirm product quality with a high degree of accuracy. By using the image-centric software interface, customers can quickly profile materials through information-rich chemical images.
Instant visual feedback and instinctive, image-driven control separates this instrument from other Raman microscopes. The DXRxi microscope can analyze large areas, providing microscopic detail in just seconds. Organizations with multiple disciplines can leverage the simplicity and approachability of the DXRxi microscope to accelerate their research.
"The DXRxi microscope enables scientists to find the needle in a haystack quickly," said Ryan Kershner, product manager, Raman spectroscopy, for Thermo Fisher. "Because this high-powered microscope is so simple to operate, students and expert microscopists can rapidly collect data and answer complex questions in a variety of fields, from biological tissue to carbon nanotube research."

The DXRxi microscope offers the following features:
new Thermo Scientific OMNICxi image-centric software provides visually driven data acquisition and intuitive sample targeting and parameter optimization;
automated alignment and calibration saves time and frustration;
near-instant visual chemical profiling requires no spectroscopic expertise to interpret; and
ability to analyze large samples quickly (Figure 1).
