CRAIC: FLEX PRO™ Microspectro-photometer UV-visible-NIR and Raman analysis of microscopic sample areas

FLEX PRO™ from CRAIC is a full-featured yet flexibly configured instrument that incorporates UV-visible-NIR optics, spectrophotometers digital imaging, and software...all tied together with our Lightswitch by CRAIC™ optical multiplexer. With our Lightswitch by CRAIC™ technology, FLEX PRO™ retains the ease-of-use for which CRAIC instruments are known, while being capable of everything from UV-visible-NIR microspectroscopy, high resolution microscopic imaging, refractive index measurements and more.

With an attractive price-entry point, the FLEX PRO™ microspectrophotometer utilizes tested technologies to allow you to measure UV-visible-NIR range transmission, absorbance, reflectance, emission and fluorescence spectra of microscopic sample areas. And while microspectra™ are being acquired, the sample may be simultaneously imaged with a high-resolution color digital imaging system or through eyepieces. Additional features may also include measuring the refractive index of microscopic samples as well as microcolorimetry and microspot thin film thickness measurements.

The FLEX PRO™ microspectrophotometer is built to yield superior quality images and spectra for an attractive price.

The FLEX PRO™ Microspectrophotometer can take spectra from the deep ultraviolet to near infrared with one seamless operation. It can acquire microspectra™ and images in absorbance, reflectance, and fluorescence. The microspectrometer is offered with both the DirecVu™ to view samples by eye as well as with a high resolution color digital imaging system.

Cost effective microspectroscopy

Microspectroscopy that features a spectral range from the UV through the visible and into the near infrared. Simultaneous and direct imaging of both the sampling aperture and the sample makes for fast, accurate measurements. Featuring Scorpii™, SampleSafe™ and Lightblades™ technology, the FLEX PRO™ gives you the ability to measure transmission, reflectance and fluorescence spectra of even sub-micron samples.

CRAIC Technologies is also the only recognized source for NIST traceable microspectrometer standards.

FLEX PROible Raman Microspectroscopy

When fitted with the Apollo™ Raman spectrometer, the FLEX PRO™ is capable of Raman spectroscopic measurements of microscopic samples. Modules include lasers, Raman spectrometers and the interface optics that allow you to collect high quality Raman spectra of your samples.

High sensitivity microfluorometry & imaging

The FLEX PRO™ can be configured for fluorescence and luminescence spectra and images of microscopic samples. Featuring Lightblades™ technology and with excitation ranging from the deep UV to the near infrared and the ability to measure the emission in the same range, the FLEX PRO™ is a powerful tool for microfluorometry for materials sciences, biology, geology and more.

5D Spectral Surface Mapping™

Combines hardware and software for automated spectral analysis and 5D mapping of samples with microscopic spatial resolution. 5D maps of the absorbance, transmission, reflectance, fluorescence, emission, time and Raman spectra of samples may be generated.

Superior image quality

The FLEX PRO™ includes a UV-visible-NIR microscope featuring high resolution color digital imaging. With its sophisticated imaging software, FLEX PRO™ gives you the ability for both real time and image capture of samples by transmission, reflectance, polarization and fluorescence.
