Welcome to the Thermo Scientific™ DXR™xi Raman imaging
microscope. The instrument combines rapid chemical
characterization with high-end spectral performance. It has
interchangeable lasers and their associated filters and gratings, and
accommodates polarizers and various optical filters. The instrument
offers standard (brightfield) reflected light sample illumination.
Optional reflected light brightfield/darkfield and transmission
illumination kits are also available.
The system runs with the Thermo Scientific OMNIC™xi Raman
imaging software, a game-changing problem solving tool. You can use
the software to collect spectra at selected sample locations and to
acquire a quick preview chemical image. Then perform real-time
collection of image data in multiple regions. Image data can be
acquired in two planes—the sample surface or a cross section.
This document will get you started using the microscope and
software and demonstrate how to run experiments using a provided
sample and image file. The examples will help you learn to apply the
instrument’s features to your own analyses. These topics are covered:
