Overview
The HELIOS Confocal Microscope is developed for transient absorption microscopy of a wide variety of objects. The microscope can be set up independently or as an add-on to an existing HELIOS ultrafast transient absorption spectrometer. The unique design enables measurements with sub-2 um spatial resolution. Users can switch between the reflection and transmission modes when studying thin films, semiconductor wafers, nanostructures, etc. This microscope enables studying micron-size samples or specific areas on heterogeneous samples. The built-in 2D camera makes it easy to find a spot of interest.
