For larger samples the SENTERRA can be configured as an open architecture microscope. As the dimension of the sample is not longer hindered by the microscope frame, this configuration is very useful for analyzing paintings and ancient books. The spatial resolution power of the SENTERRA in this configuration is not changed and even confocal measurements are still possible.
Set up as inverted microscope the SENTERRA allows the RAMAN spectroscopic analysis of living cells at the bottom of a large container (e.g. a tissue culture flask) under more natural conditions than on a glass slide, as is the case with a conventional microscope.
