Dispersive Raman spectroscopy is quickly becoming the analytical technique of choice for a wide range of micro-analysis and the material characterization, as it offers greater spatial resolution and simpler sample preparation compared to FTIR Microscopy. JASCO has developed the next generation NRS-4500 that allows researchers of all skill levels to harness the power of Raman with unparalleled speed and sensitivity. With a variety of functions designed to automatically optimize the optical system, the users no longer face the challenges with optical and measurement adjustments, and can focus on obtaining results. The NRS-4500 combines usability and high performance, expanding potential applications of Raman in fields from QA/QC to teaching and cutting-edge research.
