WITec Microscope Technology Wins Prestigious 2008 R&D 100 07 Jul 2008 WITec microscope technology has been selected as a winner of the prestigious 2008 R&D 100 Award. It honors the automated Confocal Raman and Atomic Force Microscope combination alpha500 as one of the 100 most technologically significant innovations of the year. The alpha500 is a revolutionary new microscope system that combines for the first time Confocal Raman Microscopy for chemical 3-D imaging and Atomic Force Microscopy for structural surface imaging in an automated system for large samples. It enables the automated execution of predefined measurement sequences on an arbitrary, user-defined number of sample positions for the most comprehensive, nondestructive and rapid sample analysis without any online process control by an operator. The automation and the fast image acquisition capabilities reduce the overall experiment durati...
