PhotoThermal SRS: Faster, more sensitive and robust Stimulated Raman Scattering imaging

Discover stRAMos™: Next-Generation Stimulated Raman Microscopy

Introducing stRAMos, our new high-speed laser-scanning imaging system powered by Photothermal Stimulated Raman Scattering (PT-SRS). With sub-300 nm resolution, ultrafast tuning, and live-cell compatibility, stRAMos delivers up to 10× higher sensitivity than conventional SRS—while supporting flexible formats from multi-well plates to thick tissues.

This launch features the inventor of PT-SRS, Prof. Ji-Xin Cheng (Boston University), alongside our CTO Dr. Craig Prater, moderated by Dr. Mustafa Kansiz.

What you’ll learn:

  • How PT-SRS boosts sensitivity and fidelity while supporting long working-distance objectives.

  • Why fiber lasers make stRAMos robust, portable, and ultrafast to tune.

  • Live-cell and 3D volumetric imaging with full-range hyperspectral in minutes.

  • Correlative workflows with optional O-PTIR and widefield fluorescence.

Who should watch:
Researchers in life sciences, pharma, and analytical fields seeking faster, higher-resolution, label-free chemical imaging.
