SENTERRA Features
Optical Microscopy
As the SENTERRA is based on the Olympus BX series optical microscope, all the necessary tools for sample visualization and contrast enhancements such as Koehler bright and dark field illumination, polarized light, Nomarski differential interference contrast (DIC), fluorescence and many others are available.
Sure_Cal® Continuous Automatic Calibration
Stability is a crucial issue for both research applications for highly accurate determination of band shifts and routine identification in the QA/QC laboratories. SENTERRA is the first Raman microscope to provide hassle-free operation. Sure_Cal® automatically calibrates the system to better than 0.1cm-1 accuracy and precision without the need for daily wavelength calibrations or user intervention of any kind.

FlexFocus™: Confocal Raman Spectroscopy on Demand
SENTERRA offers a novel method that provides the necessary flexibility to conduct Raman microanalysis without compromise. FlexFocus™ utilizes a hybrid aperture containing an array of pinholes and slits serving as the entrance aperture of the spectrograph, providing a diversity of high throughput settings for true confocal or non-confocal measurements.

AFR – Automatic Fluorescence Rejection by SERDS
The SENTERRA offers the patented SERDS (Shifted Excitation Raman Difference Spectroscopy) method for rejecting fluorescence from many samples. Historically, Raman spectroscopy has been a limited tool for sample analysis, because many samples exhibit fluorescence. With the SENTERRA, sample fluorescence can frequently be eliminated to produce high quality Raman spectra even on the most demanding samples.
