RIMA: Global Hyperspectral Raman Microscope
The RIMA microscope combines hyperspectral imaging and Raman spectroscopy to deliver comprehensive spectral and spatial data faster than ever before. Unlike traditional point-by-point or line-scan systems, RIMA leverages high-throughput global-imaging filters to create Raman maps over large megapixel-scale fields of view in record time.
This system is ideal for researchers and industries requiring high-speed, high-precision Raman mapping across extensive areas, enhancing efficiency and enabling new insights into complex materials.
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).
IRina: Real-Time Spectral Analysis in Bio-Photonics
The IRina™ in vivo spectral probe is a compact yet powerful solution for bio-photonic applications. Specifically designed for measuring fluorescence emission in the NIR-II range, IRina is perfect for nanosensor or new dye analysis within small living animals or thick tissues.
Its ergonomic benchtop design and intuitive PHySpec™ software streamline the process of acquiring and analyzing multiple measurements and time-series data. IRina enables researchers to quantify bio-photonic emissions and visualize spectral shifts of ABS in real-time, offering unprecedented insights for life sciences and medical research.
CLAIR and IRINA, a perfect combination for a sophisticated customization request
To fulfill a special order, our team created a unique system combining our ClaIR and IRina products. Our engineers made sure that the system uses the same laser source for both products.

CIMA: Confocal Hyperspectral Microscope
The CIMA microscope represents the next generation in confocal hyperspectral imaging. Sensitive across a broad range of wavelengths from 400 to 1700 nm, it achieves spectral resolutions as low as 0.2 nm in the visible spectrum and 0.6 nm in the infrared.
Equipped with a galvanometer head and one of the market’s fastest cameras, CIMA boasts an acquisition rate of over 300 spectra per second. Its three versatile acquisition modes—confocal hyperspectral imaging, multispectral fluorescence imaging, and emission spectroscopy—make it a powerful tool for researchers in material science, biology, and photonics.
CIMA Applications Overview
- Simultaneously study the spatial distribution and spectral properties of complex nanomaterials such as upconverting nanoparticles and quantum dots.
- Perform in vitro or in vivo high resolution hyperspectral microscopy.
- Develop new sensors based on environment dependent spectral shifting of their fluorescence signal.
