The NanoCenter's newest lab is now operational! The NanoOptics Lab has a new NT-MDT SPM with confocal raman spectroscopy, a Horiba Imaging Spectrometer allowing for flexible experiement setups, and a Shimadzu FTIR Spectrometer.
Start the process of becoming a user and contact NanoOptics Lab Director, Jim O'Connor (301-405-5018) to discuss the details of your project.
Our new scanning probe microscope includes Raman capabilities and can handle wet, electrochemical, and biological samples.
We have a set of standard tips but you can bring in compatible tips to server your needs.
The Shimadzu IR Prestige FTIR spectromer is brand new and includes an accomodating sample holder to allow users a wide variety of sample types and positions.
The lab is now fully operational and will be performing experiments and runs for users during an extended calibration period.
