HORIBA Scientific Announces New Modular Turnkey Systems to Add Spectroscopy to Any Standard Microscope

May 17, 2023

New SMS Systems Can Perform Raman, PL, EL, Time-resolved PL, Dark Field Scattering, and more

Piscataway, NJ  HORIBA Scientific, global leader in optical spectroscopy solutions, is proud to be introducing its new Standard Microscope Spectroscopy (SMS) systems at the upcoming Photonics West show.

With their unique set of accessories, the SMS family of systems enables any standard microscope to be fitted with a spectrometer and a detector, thereby adding spectroscopy to ANY microscope, to perform techniques such as Raman, steady state and time-resolved Photoluminescence, Reflectance/Transmittance, Electroluminescence, Photocurrent and Dark Field Scattering. The SMS platform brings unprecedented flexibility and modularity to performing spectroscopy on standard microscope systems, all without compromising the imaging functionality of the microscope.

Standard Microscope Spectroscopy (SMS) systems offer the ability to leverage an existing standard microscope, and create a fully turnkey system that performs not only the microscopy function, but adds one or more spectroscopies as a complementary technique.

The SMS systems:

·      Can combine multiple spectroscopies on one platform;

·       Are modular and upgradable;

·       Retain all imaging and native microscope functions while adding spectroscopy functionality;

·       Offer high performance levels without compromise to either microscopy or spectroscopy.

The Optical Spectroscopy Division specializes in custom configurations with spectrometers, monochromators, microspectroscopy, CCDs and other instruments for spectroscopy and other R&D and QC applications. They design systems that meet customers’ individualized research or application needs. The OSD group specializes in designing the tools required to assist investigations when standardized tools do not meet the needs or where no tools currently exist. The division also sells spectroscopy components for user-built systems.
