WissEl's software pages note that the newer WinNormos-for-Igor package brings the original DOS Normos Site and Dist routines together in one programme.
• DIST-A Mossbauer Fit Programme — WissEl: DIST-A is the version of the DIST Mossbauer fit programme purchased together with a WissEl Mossbauer system. The fitting capability matches the standalone DIST licence; only the terms of supply differ.
• NORMOS Mossbauer Fit Programmes SITE and DIST — WissEl: Normos is WissEl's Mossbauer fit programme package, combining the SITE and DIST routines in a single licence. SITE covers spectra made up of a discrete set of subspectra, while DIST handles problems calling for a distribution of hyperfine parameters. WissEl's software pages describe the later WinNormos-for-Igor release as bringing these original DOS routines together in one programme.
• NORMOS-A Mossbauer Fit Programmes SITE and DIST — WissEl: NORMOS-A is the Normos package containing both the SITE and DIST fit programmes, purchased together with a WissEl Mossbauer system. Its fitting capability is that of the standalone NORMOS licence; only the terms of supply differ.
• SITE Mossbauer Fit Programme — WissEl: SITE is the Normos fit programme for spectra treated as a discrete set of subspectra, each carrying its own values of the hyperfine constants. It is sold as a separate licence alongside DIST. WissEl's software pages record that the newer WinNormos-for-Igor release combines the original DOS Normos Site and Dist routines into one programme.
• SITE-A Mossbauer Fit Programme — WissEl: SITE-A is the SITE Mossbauer fit programme purchased together with a WissEl Mossbauer system. Its fitting capability matches the standalone SITE licence; only the terms of supply differ.

All Mossbauer isotopes can be selected at run time, most of them predefined, and the static Hamiltonian is solved exactly for any isotope, with true transmission integral fits and automatic folding for triangular or sinusoidal velocity. WinSite treats a discrete set of subspectra while WinDist handles distributions in hyperfine field, quadrupole splitting or isomer shift, including correlation effects, Gaussian and Voigt distribution profiles and polarised source experiments with spin texture evaluation. Velocity calibration can be taken from WissEl laser drive files, workspaces are stored and recovered as Igor experiments with all numerical results, and reports can be generated automatically in Rich Text Format.
• WiRE Correlate module — Renishaw: Correlate lets Raman results be compared against images from many other microscopy systems, among them scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fluorescence, atomic force microscopy (AFM), infra-red and optical microscopes. You record the coordinates of three or more reference points and data acquisition points on the sample, and the module then guides you back to the same regions of interest once the sample has been transferred between microscopes. A Coordinate Manager imports and transforms coordinates from commonly used microscopy systems, while an Image Alignment Tool gives translation, rotation, sizing and aspect ratio control for overlay at variable transparency. Batch measurements automate the same Raman measurement at different positions on a sample.
• WiRE Cosmic Ray Removal tool — Renishaw: Cosmic rays are high energy particles from outer space, and over a long measurement they leave spurious spikes in Raman spectra. Renishaw's Cosmic Ray Remover (CRR) tool in WiRE software deals with them either as the data is collected or afterwards. Acquiring three accumulations and taking the median value at each frequency eliminates spikes during collection, while a simple zap function or the automated CRR processing tool handles files that already contain many features. Removing the spikes preserves spectral band shape, leaves images free of artefacts and gives more confidence when unsupervised chemometric methods such as PCA are applied.
• WiRE Empty Modelling method — Renishaw: Empty Modelling is Renishaw's patented chemometric method for extracting chemical information from Raman data, and it is aimed at samples where you do not know which chemicals or species are present. It determines the spectra of the key components and generates high quality images of how those components are distributed. Because Renishaw developed it specifically for Raman data, the resulting images and spectra are easier to interpret than those from the more abstract principle component analysis (PCA). In short it tells you what is present, where it is and how big it is.
• WiRE Intelligent Fitting background removal tool — Renishaw: Simple or complex backgrounds can be taken off spectral data with a single button click. Intelligent Fitting is Renishaw's proprietary approach and is one of four options provided in WiRE software for removing unwanted fluorescence background; it is completely automated and works consistently and repeatably. It can be applied to a single spectrum or to a multi spectra dataset, including time series, temperature series and maps. Cleaner spectra make database identification easier, keep similar spectra consistent with each other and simplify the analysis of data from fluorescent samples.
• WiRE Particle Analysis module — Renishaw: Particle Analysis finds particles on microscope images, reports morphology parameters such as size and aspect ratio, and then guides the inVia Raman microscope to identify them chemically. Instead of processing every particle in a Raman image, you contrast, size and separate individual particles, generate a list that can be sorted and filtered, and select only those worth full chemical analysis; the approach is called morphologically directed Raman spectroscopy (MDRS). A six step automated workflow takes the user from image generation through to reporting results, with detailed colour thumbnails for viewing individual particles. Applications range from filtered environmental particles such as microplastics to deposited pharmaceutical sprays and inhalers, forensic trace materials, graphene and other 2D materials, and biological work such as cytology.
• WiRE Spectrum Search tool — Renishaw: Spectrum Search identifies unknown Raman spectra quickly and accurately, using custom search algorithms that cope with pure chemical components as well as mixtures. It can draw on Renishaw's application specific Raman spectral libraries or on other commercially available libraries, and it scans multiple databases simultaneously to return the best match for an unknown spectrum. In interactive mode you pick the spectra of interest and run library scans yourself; in automatic mode you define the maximum number of components in the mixture, and the software matches the first component then searches automatically for the best matches to the residual spectra. Custom libraries, masked spectral regions and Intelligent Fitting background removal are also part of the tool.
