i-Raman® Series
The i-Raman offers 532nm and 785nm excitation wavelength standard and high resolution configurations measuring from 65 cm-1 to 4000 cm-1. All i-Raman systems feature a TE-cooled CCD detector. The i-Raman Plus Using a high quantum efficiency CCD array detector with deeper cooling and high dynamic range. The i-Raman Pro is a fully integrated system with a touchscreen tablet computer and a battery option for portability. The i-Raman EX features a 1064nm version of CleanLaze® excitation laser which minimizes the effect of fluorescence. It provides spectral resolution of 9.5 cm-1 and a spectral coverage range from 100 to 2500 cm-1.
