Flagship fully-automated confocal Raman system with LiveTrack focus-tracking
Product Overview
The inVia Qontor is top-of-the-line research-grade Raman microscope, engineered for the most demanding analytical workflows. It combines a high-efficiency on-axis spectrometer with a precision Leica microscope and the advanced LiveTrack focus-tracking system to deliver stable, repeatable spectra and chemical images—even on rough or curved surfaces. Fully automated laser, filter and grating switching, plus WiRE software control, make inVia Qontor ideal for both routine and cutting-edge research
Key Features
-
High optical efficiency and stray-light rejection via a stigmatic on-axis spectrometer for maximum sensitivity.
-
LiveTrack automated focus-tracking maintains sub-micrometre focus over uneven samples in real time.
-
True confocal sampling with EasyConfocal™optics for lateral resolution down to 0.25 µm and axial below 1 µm.
-
StreamLine, StreamLine Slalom and StreamHR imaging modes for rapid, high-resolution 2D/3D chemical mapping.
-
SynchroScan technology enables artefact-free spectra over the full visible/NIR range in a single acquisition.
-
Fully automated laser, filter and grating exchange, plus internal standards for alignment and calibration.
-
WiRE software with guided workflows, spectral libraries, empty-modelling, and 3D volume viewing.
-
Modular design supports multiple lasers (UV–NIR), fibre-optic probes, environmental cells, and correlative AFM/SEM/CLSM.
