WITEC
Since the founding of WITec in 1997, our company has established itself as the technology leader in Raman imaging and correlative microscopy. As reflected in our maxim "Focus Innovations", we’ve found success in consistently introducing new technologies and maintaining our close connection to members of the research community, who are not only customers, but also valued partners. In September 2021, WITec became a member of the Oxford Instruments Group, bringing unmatched expertise in Raman microscopy to its extensive portfolio of businesses.
alpha300 R
For a long time, the WITec alpha300 R Raman microscope has been recognized as the state-of-the-art imaging system. Through continuous development, driven by our innovative spirit, our systems have remained at the forefront of technology and set the benchmark in terms of flexibility, sensitivity, speed and performance. These unique features have established alpha300 as the ultimate Confocal Raman system on the market.
alpha300 access
The alpha300 access is an entry-level Raman microscope that performs single-point analysis of the sample and can also perform Raman mapping. It was specifically designed for customers with limited budgets but high performance demands. Its exceptional spectral quality, optical performance and signal sensitivity are guaranteed by the excellent optical components from WITec. The high-quality components of the alpha300 access microscope are the basis for its extended functions.
alpha300 apyron
The alpha300 apyron microscope is the top Raman imaging system in the WITec microscope series. It combines ease of use and maximum functionality by automating instrument control and offering preconfigured measurement modalities. This streamlines the experimental workflow and produces reproducible results with unmatched speed, sensitivity and resolution. With the launch of a new generation of alpha300 apyron microscopes, WITec now takes Raman imaging automation to the highest level.

alpha300 Ri
The alpha300 Ri turns 3D chemical characterization on its head. Its inverted optical path retains all the functionalities of WITec's alpha300 Confocal Raman microscopes, while introducing a new angle of access and manipulation. The ability to observe and investigate samples from below is a great advantage when working with samples in solution or at large sizes. Studies in Biology, Life Sciences, Biomedicine or Geoscience will benefit from the flexibility and consistency provided by the geometry of the new alpha300 Ri.
cryoRaman
cryoRaman offers Raman imaging with unmatched spatial resolution for very low temperature measurements. It has been developed for researchers studying materials as it reveals new properties when materials are cooled to near absolute zero. By combining the performance and modularity of the alpha300 microscope series with advanced cryostat and nanopositioner technology, experiments up to 1.8K in intense magnetic fields are easily accessible and configurable.
alphaCART
alphaCART is WITec's mobile confocal Raman system for all applications that require bringing the laboratory closer to the sample. The alphaCART Raman probe can be flexibly positioned in front of bulky, immovable or valuable objects that cannot be transported to or do not fit under a microscope. The system's high confocality and signal sensitivity also allow measurements through glass and protective windows, making it possible to study gases or chemical processes inside reaction chambers and other enclosures.
alpha300 A
WITec's alpha300A Atomic Force Microscope is specially designed for materials, nanotechnology and life science research. It integrates an optical microscope for easy cantilever alignment and sample inspection with high-quality, high-resolution images. It supports all standard AFM modes, ensuring high flexibility in a wide range of applications.
alpha300 S
The alpha300S Near Field Optical Microscope (SNOM) uniquely combines the advantages of SNOM, Confocal Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in one system. Switching between the different operating modes is easily achieved by rotating the objective wheel. The alpha300S uses unique micro-fabricated sensors (SNOM cantilevers) to achieve optical resolution beyond the diffraction limit.
Budget requestRISE Raman-SEM
First Raman Microscope Fully Integrated into a Scanning Electron Microscope RISE microscopy is a new correlative microscopy technique, combining SEM and Confocal Raman microscopy. Through RISE microscopy, ultrastructural properties of the surface can be linked to molecular information of the compound. The RISE microscope combines all the features of a stand-alone SEM and those of an alpha300 Confocal Raman microscope.

alpha300 RA
The award-winning Raman-AFM combination (alpha300 RA) was the first system on the market to integrate Raman with Atomic Force Microscopy and continues to set the standard for instruments configured for correlative Raman microscopy with AFM. The alpha300 RA microscope incorporates the features of the alpha300 R Raman microscope for chemically sensitive imaging in conjunction with an Atomic Force Microscope (alpha300 A) for nanometer-resolution surface characterization.
alpha300 RS
For the user with demanding and high-end experimental requirements, the alpha300 RS facilitates Confocal Raman imaging in combination with Near Field Optical Microscopy, for the generation of images with optical resolution above the diffraction limit. The alpha300 RS combines all the features of the alpha300 S and alpha300 R, and allows the use of all operating modes in AFM (alpha300 A). In addition, the Raman microscope-SNOM combination is ideal for high-resolution Raman imaging techniques, using the evanescent field.
