Leading the way in advanced analysis Involve inVia Nanoscale studies Techniques such as electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and confocal laser‑scanning microcopy enable us to study materials at high spatial resolutions and gain new information such as elemental content. However, on their own, these techniques do not provide direct chemical data. Renishaw has therefore developed a range of interfaces that enable inVia to be coupled to these systems. Researchers in nanotechnology need tools that enable them to not only image submicroscopic structures, but to chemically analyse them...

Elemental information Raman spectroscopy is an ideal tool for identifying and distinguishing between organic and inorganic molecules and crystals. However, Raman spectroscopy cannot determine the elemental distribution in a sample, something that a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with elemental energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) can do with ease. The chemical and structural analyser (SCA) unites inVia with a range of SEMs, resulting in a powerful and unique instrument that enables morphological, elemental, chemical, physical, and electronic analysis from the same spot on...
