Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
1. Does the NS200 require complex installation?
Answer: No. The NS200 is a "Plug-and-Play" device. Simply connect it to your PC via USB 3.0 and install the NSRamanID software to start measuring immediately.
2. Can I change the objective lens to increase magnification?
Answer: Yes. The NS200 is fully compatible with standard commercial microscope objective lenses, allowing you to easily adjust magnification and optical spot size.
3. How does the Raman mapping feature work?
Answer: When paired with the motorized XY stage, the software automatically moves the sample and takes measurements at multiple points on a grid, creating a spatial distribution map of the material properties.
4. Does the system include a spectral library?
Answer: Yes. It comes with a built-in library of over 200 common materials. Furthermore, the NSRamanID software allows users to build and manage their own custom spectral databases.
5. Why should I choose the NS200 over a handheld Raman device?
Answer: The NS200 provides lab-grade accuracy, auto-focusing capabilities, superior wavelength stability, and high-resolution microscopic visualization, which handheld devices cannot match.
