Renishaw Virsa Raman Analyser

Renishaw Virsa

Flexible, portable Raman analyser with remote sampling

The Renishaw Virsa Raman Analyser enables you to analyse samples away from the microscope and your laboratory.

Research–grade Raman in a transportable unit.
Flexible, remote sampling with fibre-optic probes (5m cabling provided; other lengths available on request)
Avoid fluorescence with dual laser wavelength options:
- 532 nm and 785 nm
- Use separately with individual probes or through the same objective lens with stacked probes
- Switch at the click of a button – no need to reposition your sample
High spatial resolution probes for fast microscopy.
Locate and focus on your area of interest with an optional motorised, encoded three-axis probe mount and video-equipped probes.
Renishaw’s powerful WiRE (Windows-based Raman Environment) software for data acquisition, processing and analysis.
Identify elements in mixtures with Spectrum Search.
Combine results with images from other microscopy techniques with Renishaw’s Correlate software module – more info…

The Virsa Raman Analyser is extremely flexible. A range of probes are available to suit various applications:

Bulk analysis probes for homogeneous samples
High spatial resolution probes for fine structures in heterogeneous samples
Video viewer (optional) to locate your region of interest easily
Stack two probes and share a common objective lens
Multiple lens turret
Specialist and third party probes including immersion probes for liquids, high pressure and/or temperature

Use a computer-controlled, motorised, three-axis probe positioner for precise sampling:
