Wei Liu Ph.D. is an application scientist at Oxford Instruments. He has been working in the field of Raman spectroscopy and SPM techniques for over 15 years. Wei obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from University of California, Riverside, then he worked as research associate at University of Alabama, Birmingham before joining Oxford Instruments.
Oxford Instruments is an industry leader in Raman imaging and correlative microscopy. As an intrinsic but non-destructive technique, Raman spectroscopy is an important tool for material characterization. Alpha300 Confocal Raman imaging system brings state of the art Raman technology to the scientists, high-resolution and high-speed imaging modes provide insights to many research such as 2D flakes and energy storage components development. In addition to the standard Raman configuration, a few correlative microscopic techniques including AFM/SNOM, fluorescence/photoluminescence imaging, time resolved spectroscopy and SEM etc. can be built together with Oxford Instruments Raman seamlessly, These versatile, multi-modal platforms provide powerful analytical tools for addressing complex scientific challenges.
