- Raman spectrometry
The Xplora is a compact, 1-wavelength (532 nm) Raman spectrometer from Horiba Jobin-Yvon, comprising a confocal microscope (100x), a motorized table (XY), an air-cooled 1650 x 200 pixel CCD detector and 4 gratings 600-1200-1800-2400 lines/mm. It is also equipped with 6 density filters (100%, 50%, 25%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%) to reduce laser power (at 100% laser power with a 10x objective, laser power will be 79 mW on the sample), 3 hole positions (100µm, 300µm, 500µm) to improve axial resolution and 3 slit positions (50µm, 100µm, 200µm) to improve spectral resolution.
