Technology Technology Technology
The RG Raman Microscope from Lightnovo is a high-performance solution for demanding Raman spectroscopy applications requiring high spectral and spatial resolution, broad spectral range, and exceptional laser stability.
Designed for flexibility and precision, this modular microscope delivers:
Dual Microscopy Modes – Upright and Inverted
With its unique flip design, the RG Raman Microscope easily switches between upright and inverted microscopy modes—no reassembly required.
Integrated Optical & Raman Imaging
Equipped with transmitted visible light microscopy on a separate camera sensor, the RG system allows simultaneous optical observation (color, size, morphology) and Raman spectroscopy (chemical and structural analysis).
Modular & Compatible
Thanks to its modular design, the RG microscope can be paired with either the RG Raman spectrometer or the compact miniRaman spectrometer, offering scalable performance for diverse research needs
