LA3656C-UCD-CFT for the Supply of an Integrated Raman, SNOM and AFM all-in-one System for Micro to Nanoscale Characterisation for University College Dublin (UCD)
Education Procurement Service (EPS)
University College Dublin request the supply of a proposed all-in-one system. This system must represent a state-of-the-art, multimodal imaging platform that seamlessly integrates Raman spectroscopy, scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It features 532, 785, and 1064 nm excitation lasers. It enables correlative chemical, optical, and topographical analysis from the microscale to nanoscale with spatial resolution down to 200 nm, offering exceptional analytical depth and spatial precision. By combining three complementary techniques, the system delivers spatially co-registered data from the same region of interest, enhancing data richness and accuracy. As a transformative addition to the national research infrastructure, the system will position UCD as a leader in high-resolution spectroscopic imaging, serving a diverse user base across the physical sciences, life sciences, chemistry, and engineering.
