WITec alpha300 Confocal Raman<br />
Microscope: The alpha300 R is a Raman<br />
imaging system focusing on high-resolution<br />
as well as high-speed spectra and image<br />
acquisition. The acquisition time for a single<br />
Raman spectrum is in the range of 1 ms or<br />
even below; thus, a complete Raman image<br />
consisting of tens of thousands of spectra<br />
can be obtained in 1 min or less. Differences<br />
in chemical composition, although completely<br />
invisible in the optical image, will be<br />
apparent in the Raman image and can be<br />
analyzed with a resolution down to 200 nm.<br />

Company Description<br />
WITec is a manufacturer of high-resolution optical and scanning<br />
probe microscopy solutions for scientific and industrial<br />
applications. A modular product line allows the combination<br />
of different microscopy techniques such as Raman, NSOM, or<br />
AFM in one instrument. The company’s product line features<br />
a near-field scanning optical microscope, using unique cantilever<br />
technology, a confocal Raman microscope designed<br />
for highest sensitivity and resolution, and an AFM for material<br />
research and nanotechnology. Focusing on innovations and<br />
constantly introducing new technologies, WITec is the leading<br />
expert for a wide variety of optical, structural, and chemical<br />
imaging tasks.<br />
Chief Spectroscopic Techniques Supported<br />
⦁ Raman spectroscopy<br />
⦁ Confocal Raman imaging<br />
⦁ Ultrafast confocal Raman imaging<br />
⦁ Confocal and near-field fluorescence spectroscopy<br />
⦁ Upgradeable with atomic force and near-field microscopy<br />
capabilities<br />
Markets Served<br />
WITec products are delivered worldwide to academic and<br />
industrial research labs focusing on high-resolution chemical<br />
imaging and materials characterization. Areas of application<br />
for WITec’s confocal Raman imaging systems include polymer<br />
sciences, pharmaceutics, life science, geoscience, thin films<br />
and coating analysis, semiconductors, and nanotechnology.<br />
WITec alpha500 Automated Confocal<br />
Raman & Atomic Force Microscope: The<br />
alpha500 is an automated confocal Raman<br />
and atomic force microscopy system<br />
incorporating a motorized sample stage<br />
for large samples and customized multiarea/multi-point<br />
measurements. It allows<br />
nondestructive chemical imaging with<br />
confocal Raman microscopy as well as<br />
high-resolution topography imaging with<br />
AFM using the integrated piezo scan-stage.<br />
Both modes can be run fully automatically,<br />
guaranteeing the most comprehensive<br />
surface inspection possibilities for systematic<br />
and routine research tasks or highlevel<br />
quality control.<br />
Facilities<br />
WITec Headquarters is located in Ulm,<br />
Germany, and includes the R&D department,<br />
production, sales & marketing, and<br />
administration. WITec Instruments Corp.<br />
in Maryville, Tennessee, is responsible for<br />
North American sales and service activities.
