Performance
Sensitivity: Analyse sub-micrometre particles, weak Raman scatterers, low concentration solutions and trace contaminants alongside traditional materials. Measure the weakest Raman bands such as the 4th order of silicon quickly and with world leading signal-to-noise.
Resolution: Differentiate between materials with confidence. Spectral resolution better than 1 cm-1. Spatial resolution down to 250 nm.
Speed: Quickly generate Raman images and maps of large areas, up to centimetres in size. Our innovative scanning techniques achieve data collection speeds >1000 spectra/s.
Intelligence
Fast sample setup: Quickly identify microscopic regions of interest in large samples using a macro lens, motorised objective turret and focus-tracking technology.
Intuitive measurement workflow: Simply watch a short video to get started. Even brand new-users can quickly understand the Raman Workspace™ software and use the Strada system to collect the data they need.
Consistent analysis and results: Configure templates to repeat analysis across multiple batches of samples. Present your data with customisable reports.
Confidence
Automated performance optimisation: Alignment and calibration checks ensure that measurements stay accurate and consistent day after day.
Advanced support and remote servicing: Maximise system uptime with integrated 2-way telemetry, predictive maintenance and remote servicing.
Supports regulatory compliance: Supports compliance with regulatory requirements, such as 21 CFR Part 11.
Key features of the Strada® Intelligent Raman Microscope
The Strada system is designed for operation within industrial and multi-user facilities. By incorporating innovative hardware and software features, we have made high-performance spectroscopy possible for every user, regardless of their level of expertise.
Smarter chemical imaging
Packed with Renishaw’s innovative Raman imaging technologies, the Strada microscope can image a vast range of sample types. Raman Workspace software automatically selects the best imaging technique based on the measurement conditions you set.
Get the bigger picture
The integrated macro lens provides a large field of view when inspecting samples. This helps you find regions of interest and provides spatial context when analysing microscopic features.
Precise sample movement
A fully encoded sample stage with 50 nm resolution allows for the collection of accurate and repeatable Raman maps and images over the entire stage range of 11 cm × 7 cm. Fully supports optical imaging and morphology-directed work such as morphologically directed Raman spectroscopy (MDRS).
Remote operation
The Strada system is entirely software-controlled including all lasers, gratings, objective lenses, and the sample stage. You can control the Strada microscope, run measurements, and analyse data from anywhere in the world.
Configure with confidence
Designed as a fully enclosed system to protect internal components. All configuration changes are conducted in the software, eliminating the need for experts to change laser filters or gratings and prevents beginners from putting fingerprints on expensive optical components.
Versatile sampling
The research-grade Raman microscope and large sample stage enable the measurement of microscopic, macroscopic and bulk samples. You can measure a diverse range of samples, including semiconductor devices, polymer films, pharmaceuticals, powders, liquids and gases.
Energy efficient
Integrated sleep and standby modes suspend the operation of the Strada microscope when not in use. These modes help to reduce power consumption while maximising laser lifetimes, without impacting your schedule.
Always at its best
Built-in intelligent optimisation checks performance in seconds and re-optimises if necessary. This ensures you always get the best possible results, no matter what your measurement.
Workflow-driven analysis
Raman Workspace software guides you intuitively from sample viewing to data analysis and reporting. This saves time, allowing brand-new users to collect and analyse data from the Strada system within minutes.
Save time with auto-focus
LiveTrack™ focus-tracking technology identifies and maintains sample focus during viewing and measurements. This enables the analysis of rough and uneven surfaces that would otherwise be impossible to measure.
Analyse challenging samples
Optimised optical design and a high-performance thermoelectrically cooled CCD detector provides market-leading sensitivity and specificity. This allows measurement of the hardest samples.
Raman Workspace™ software for workflow-driven Raman analysis
Raman Workspace software gives you full control of your Strada microscope. From acquiring spectroscopic data to processing and analysis, the workflow guides you to the best configuration. Raman Workspace software gives you powerful experimental flexibility and helps you see your Raman data within context.
View sample and create a Project
Utilise the comprehensive optical imaging system to survey large sample areas and identify regions of interest for further study. The macroscopic imaging mode enables you to quickly explore large areas. The motorised microscope objective turret and 8 Mpixel camera work seamlessly together, providing both optical and digital zoom for highly detailed observation of microscopic features.
Navigate and collect data
Move to different points on your sample, and collect optical images and Raman spectra, images or maps. The Workspace helps you organise your data, while displaying the relative locations of all your content within a sample, or between multiple samples.
Process, analyse and report data
View your spectra and use powerful AI and algorithmic tools for data processing and analysis. Then present your results with customisable report templates. Export tools enable you to conduct bespoke analysis in third-party software like Microsoft® Excel™ and Matlab™ or pass values into your proprietary analyses, such as PLS and AI models, or statistical process control tools.
