HORIBA Jobin Yvon introduce the XploRA™ – the Smart Raman Microscope

HORIBA Jobin Yvon present a new concept in Raman imaging with the introduction of the new XploRA microscope. Completing the LabRAM family of Raman systems the XploRA is based on a research grade optical microscope offering all the standard imaging options such as polarisation, DIC and phase contrast. The XploRA brings easy-to-use Smart Microscopy and cost effective Raman spectroscopy to your desktop.

Dr Adrian Knowles, the UK Sales Manager for HORIBA Jobin Yvon said “This is a significant development for both HORIBA Jobin Yvon and the analytical chemist because it combines fast imaging and chemical identification in a single, compact, desktop package”.

The light, compact design of the XploRA makes it easy to transport from lab to lab or for on-site analysis at archaeological sites, crime scenes, or mobile labs. The new LabSpec+ software is fully CFR compliant and uniquely offers the HORIBA Jobin Yvon Guided Operation wizard, GO!TM enabling quick and easy data acquisition even by a novice.

Integrated spectral libraries provide rapid, non-destructive compound identification with no sample preparation or special environmental conditions. Superimposition of chemical images on top of high resolution optical images is possible at the touch of a button.
