  • Device for imaging a sample surface
    Patent number: 10649189
    Abstract: A device for imaging the surfaces of a sample having topography with the aid of confocal microscopy, in particular confocal Raman and/or fluorescence microscopy, comprising a first light source, in particular a laser light source for generating excitation radiation, in particular Raman radiation and/or fluorescence radiation and a second light source, wherein the first laser light source emits radiation in a first wavelength range and the second light source emits radiation in a second wavelength range, wherein the first wavelength range and the second wavelength range do not overlap.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus for imaging a sample surface
    Patent number: 9891418
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for imaging surface area of a sample having a surface topography with the aid of confocal microscopy, such as confocal Raman and/or fluorescence microscopy. The apparatus comprises a surface topography sensor that provides values for the surface topography. The surface topography values allow for the surface to be maintained in the confocal plane during scanning.
