Teledyne Princeton Instruments, a Teledyne Technologies company, introduced its new TPIR-785 Raman spectrometer.
TPIR-785 is an ultra-high-sensitivity spectrometer for NIR Raman spectroscopic application areas such as biology, medical research and life science where NIR excitation lasers (785 nm and 830 nm) are preferred for their low fluorescence and deeper penetration depth when measuring biological tissues.
This new system utilizes an f/2 spectrograph with custom-designed lens optics to provide the highest light throughput and imaging quality in the NIR spectral range.
TPIR-785 also allows users to tailor the instrument’s performance for optimal spectral resolution (up to 5 cm-1) or optimal spectral range (up to 80 – 3650 cm-1). The system includes a 785 nm Raman probe, a universal fiber adaptor, a manual adjustable slit, and a high-power and temperature-stabilized 785 nm laser.
TPIR-785 Raman system uses a proprietary CCD and this “super-deep-depletion” sensor has a 1340 x 400 array composed of 20 µm square pixels and can be thermoelectrically cooled to -90° C.
The detector boasts spectral rates higher than 1 kHz, offers readout speeds up to 16 MHz, and employs two readout ports.
TPIR-785 Raman systems include Teledyne Princeton Instruments’ LightField imaging and spectroscopy software.
