The Olympus FV3000 confocal laser scanning microscope -based instrument has multiple complementary modalities for chemically specific imaging, including stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) with fast frame-by-frame measurement of vibrational spectral images, sum frequency or second harmonic generation (SFG/SHG) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF), as well as confocal fluorescence imaging to further increase chemical and structural specificity.
The microscope is a part of qCSI consortium infrastructure for advanced vibrational spectroscopic imaging and spectral analysis in diverse material and life sciences, serving users in Finland, the Nordic countries and beyond.
NT-MDT Ntegra Spectra confocal Raman spectrometer with a scanning probe microscopy, such as tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) combining the spectroscopic information with nanometer-scale spatial resolution.
