Global Hyperspectral Raman Microscope
RIMA is a hyperspectral global microscope delivering spectral and spatial information. This system rapidly provides Raman maps over large megapixel-scale fields of view. Based on high throughput global-imaging filters, RIMA is faster and more efficient than standard point-by-point or line-scan-based systems.
RIMA Applications Overview
- Perform low-dimensional material analyses like graphene and carbon nanotubes.
- Monitor and analyze biological tissues non-invasively.
- Intraoperative cancer imaging with SERS nanoparticles.
- Identify materials (plastic, metals) and characterize their structure (crystallinity, phase, chemical bond, strain, stress).

Photon etc.’s Global Imaging Technology
This video shows the conceptual difference between hyperspectral global imaging and raster scan (line scan, pushbroom). With global imaging, only a few monochromatic images are required to obtain a hyperspectral cube of data (X-Y spatial, Z spectral). With raster scan technologies, a spectrum needs to be acquired on each point/line within the desired field of view.
