Horiba Jobin Yvon has introduced two new fast Raman scanning technologies, Swift and DuoScan, which it says now make incredibly fast Raman imaging a reality
Swift, standing for scanning with incredibly fast times, enables per pixel measurement times as fast as 7ms.
A 50,000 spectrum image can be obtained in six minutes.
Swift can be used with a choice of different detectors and uses either standard motorised mapping stages or piezo stages for when very small step sizes are required.
DuoScan introduces a novel scanning method.
Unique scanning hardware enables the image pixel size to be chosen to match features of interest enabling optimised mapping speeds.
Unlike many Raman imaging methods DuoScan retains the full confocal advantage of the Raman technique without restriction on laser wavelength.
Combining Swift and DuoScan results in 'unprecedented' fast mapping of large samples, says Horiba Jobin Yvon.
Whole pharmaceutical tablets can be measured in ten minutes or less.
