RISE Microscope Wins Prism Award 2015
Mar 05 2015
WITec and Tescan have been recognised with a 2015 Photonics Prism Award after the correlative RISE microscope was was named as as winner in the metrology category. The Prism Award is given for innovations in the field of photonics, granted by Photonics Media and sponsored by the international Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE.). The winners were chosen from more than 130 applicants.
RISE combines confocal Raman Imaging and Scanning Electron (RISE) Microscopy in one system for comprehensive sample characterisation; from visualising surface structures in the nanometer range to detecting the chemical and molecular components of a sample. It can also generate 2D- and 3D-images and depth profiles to visualise the distribution of the molecular compounds within a sample.
“The RISE Microscope is another striking example of WITec’s enormous innovative strength. We are proud to once again receive a Prism Award, the second after being recognized in 2011 for WITec’s TrueSurface microscopy technology,” said Dr. Olaf Hollricher, WITec Managing Director R&D.
“The success of the RISE Microscope is clear evidence of the competence of our R&D team but also of our ability to grow working contacts with prominent research institutions as well as with leading innovative companies,” added Ing. Jaroslav Klíma, CEO at TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING, a.s.
The microscope’s development was a joint effort of WITec and TESCAN within the UNIVSem project, funded by the EU.
