Innova enables TERS through its hardware integration. A key part of that is the unique Innova head design that is unparalleled in its physical and optical access. It not only implements the optimized off-axis Raman geometry for maximum sensitivity but also permits multiple simultaneous video views. With the ability to view the AFM tip and sample top-down and simultaneously also view it through the Raman optics, the integration enables the key step, i.e., alignment of the Raman optics to the tip for TERS.

The integration retains the ability to use the systems individually without compromise in performance or feature set. A full TERS-enabled Innova-IRIS inVia system can be created from either a standard Bruker Innova or a standard Renishaw inVia through a simple upgrade path.

Innova enables TERS through its software integration. Its IRIS software includes simplified approach curves to verifying Raman signal enhancement during TERS setup, as well as handshaking communication and data transfer for automated TERS mapping. The combined system offers full use of complete analysis packages for all AFM and Raman data generated. It includes the industry leading NanoScope Analysis software for AFM processing and analysis as well as the WiRE Raman data analysis software.
