The technology is based on high throughput transmittance diffraction optics with up to 85% efficiency from sample to detector.
Up to four different lasers with extremely stable laser wavelength and laser power (0.1% fluctuation during 8 hours of operation) can be installed in the system 405nm, 532m, 633nm and 785nm.
THOR microscope equipped with motorized mechanics for switching between lasers, Raman filters, gratings, white light microscopy filters and other optical components. Microscopy system allows for both sample viewing using the optical microscopy capabilities and performing measurements by Raman spectroscopy simultaneously.
The visual observation reveals morphological details of a sample (e.g. color, size, shape), whereas the spectroscopic measurement reveals information about the molecular structure and chemical composition of a sample.
THOR technology covered by two international patents licensed by Lightnovo (patent 1 & patent 2).
