New capabilities commissioned and ready for use
“The Australian Research Council (ARC) and a Monash University-led consortium have funded new infrastructure with advanced multi-functional 3D imaging capabilities, which will provide unprecedented capabilities to investigate the complex processes in electrical, photonic, optoelectronic, and energy devices in Australia.” -link to official press release here.
The investment was used to fund a pair of capabilities that are currently available for access and training. The capabilities are:
Witec Alpha300R Confocal Raman
- Confocal Raman Imaging at high speeds with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity
- Hyperspectral image generation, i.e., spectroscopic info in every pixel
- Large DOF allows 3D imaging and depth profiling
- Spectrum acquisition in one millisecond
- Non-destructive analysis with no staining or fixation of the sample required
- more info on this technique here
- neaSNOM microscope upgraded to allow for imaging and spectroscopy by addition of broadband IR laser and detector
- Allows the study of chemical, structural and electronic properties of a sample at a spatial resolution up to 10nm; 1000x improvement over conventional micro FT-IR
- Non-destructive measurement method is equally suited for organic and inorganic samples
