Microscopy Module HARPIA-MM

HARPIA-MM is a microscopy module add-on to the HARPIA-TA spectrometer, which enables spatially-resolved pump-probe measurements with a spatial resolution down to 5 μm. The sample can be positioned and scanned in a 13 mm range along XYZ axes using a motorized stage. Microscopic transient transmission and reflection signals can be measured using a broadband or a monochromatic probe.

HARPIA-MM allows the acquisition of time-resolved spectra at a fixed position, difference absorption images at a fixed probe delay, and other types of data. Switching between bulk and microscopic pump-probe modes is implemented using self-contained modules, allowing experiment reconfiguration without disturbing the sample. The microscopy module features a brightfield mode to observe the sample and to determine the pump-probe spot location.
