Vista One

The Vista One from Molecular Vista is the advanced PiFM platform with expanded laser compatibility, integrated Raman-PiFM, and higher sensitivity compared to Vista 75, for multi-modal nanoscale chemical characterization.

Advanced capabilities over Vista 75:
– Multi-laser ports: couple multiple sources simultaneously (OPO, QCL, visible)
– Raman-PiFM: integrated tip-enhanced Raman in the same instrument
– Higher sensitivity: enhanced force detection for weaker absorbers
– Faster scanning with optimized piezo feedback

Spectral range:
– Mid-IR: 500-4000 cm-1 via OPO or QCL
– Near-IR: 4000-12000 cm-1
– Visible: 400-800 nm for Raman and photoluminescence
– Hyperspectral maps at each pixel

Raman-PiFM:
– Simultaneous IR and Raman chemical imaging at 10 nm
– No SERS substrate: tip-enhanced detection
– Identifies IR-silent species (homonuclear bonds)

Applications:
– 2D material heterostructures: layer composition and strain
– Battery electrode materials: lithiation state at grain boundaries
– Organic semiconductors: crystalline domain orientation
– Protein aggregation: secondary structure at nanoscale

Instrument:
– Modular: upgradeable with additional laser sources
– Closed-loop scanner: 100×100 um; sub-nm repeatability
– Environmental control: N2 purge or humidity chamber
