• Luminosa PDA-23 Add-On: The PDA-23 add-on equips the Luminosa confocal microscope with a cooled 23-pixel SPAD array for confocal time-resolved detection, combining the higher resolution of image scanning microscopy with quantitative FLIM. Pixel reassignment raises resolution by about 30%, taking 485 nm excitation down to 155 nm FWHM, and deconvolution takes that further to 120 nm FWHM. Computational sectioning improves contrast by rejecting out of focus light, and every pixel of the array is time tagged, with dual-channel acquisition available simultaneously through pulsed interleaved excitation. Integrated in Luminosa, the detector keeps alignment stable and pairs with the MultiHarp 160 multichannel time tagging and TCSPC unit, with analysis handled in NovaISM. (datasheet)
• MicroTime 200 STED Add-On: This open STED add-on extends the MicroTime 200 to super-resolution imaging with time-resolved contrast, resolving nanoscale structures below 50 nm that confocal images cannot separate. A stable donut shaped depletion beam is produced by an EASYDOnut phase plate, which avoids complex alignment, and gSTED time gating isolates late photons for better resolution and sensitivity. Triple-species STED imaging is possible using fluorescence pattern matching for accurate multicolour co-localisation, and the reduced observation volume benefits STED-FCS by allowing diffusion measurements at higher concentrations. Full compatibility with the MicroTime 200 is retained, and the complete STED workflow including time gating and multi-species pattern matching runs in SymPhoTime 64. (datasheet)

• XM-60 multi-axis calibrator: A laser system that measures errors in six degrees of freedom along a linear axis from a single set-up. It captures linear, horizontal and vertical straightness, pitch, yaw and roll together, so all geometric errors in an axis come from one measurement run. (datasheet)
• XM-600 multi-axis calibrator: The XM-600 delivers the full six degrees of freedom capability of the XM-60 system when used with CARTO software, and adds communication with Renishaw UCC controllers. It suits facilities that run both machine tools and coordinate measuring machines. (datasheet)
• XR20 rotary axis calibrator: A wireless calibrator for rotary axes on machine tools, stages and jigs. An integrated angular retroreflector sits on a servo controlled axis whose position is read by a high accuracy encoder machined directly onto the main bearing, and it works with XL-80 and XM-60 lasers. (datasheet)
• QC20 ballbar: A telescoping ballbar with precision balls at each end that measures small changes in radius while a machine tool follows a programmed circular path. It shows up geometric, dynamic and play related positioning errors in a test that takes ten to twenty minutes. (datasheet)

It gives sub-micron position feedback on large machine tools and removes the hysteresis, backlash and cyclic errors of rack and pinion or ballscrew feedback. (datasheet)
• RMAP multi-axis periscope: A periscope that lets three RLD10-X3-DI differential interferometer heads measure linear position, pitch and yaw along one axis of a high performance XY stage. The small beam footprint keeps the target mirrors light, and it bolts to a vacuum chamber or metrology frame. (datasheet)
• RLD10 laser encoder detector heads: Every RLE laser interferometer encoder system is built from an RLU laser unit together with one or two RLD10 detector heads, chosen to suit the application. The detector head is the core of the optical measuring system and holds the interferometer optics, a unique multichannel fringe detection system and beam steering mechanisms. Renishaw offers three interferometer configurations, RLD10 plane mirror, RLD10 retroreflector and RLD10 differential, plus an RLD10 with no internal interferometer. Beam output orientation is chosen for each axis, except on the differential interferometer head. (datasheet)
• RLI20-P laser encoder interface for Panasonic: The RLI20-P links a Renishaw laser encoder system to a Panasonic MINAS A5 series controller. It takes the 1 Vpp analogue quadrature signals from the laser encoder and passes them through a high speed interpolator before outputting an incremental position reading in RS485 format. The internal position update rate is 100 MHz and the sub divisional error contribution is quoted as ±0.5 nm. (datasheet)
• RLU compact laser unit with fibre optic delivery (RLU10 / RLU20): Renishaw's RLU laser units bring the performance of a displacement interferometer together with the installation ease normally associated with tape and glass scale encoders. Supplied in single or dual axis form, an RLU contains a class 2 helium neon (HeNe) laser source, stabilisation electronics, a fibre optic launch and axis position feedback electronics, and it is combined with one or two RLD detector heads to make up an RLE system. The RLU10 holds laser frequency stability within ±50 ppb over any one hour period, which suits the majority of in air applications, while the RLU20 holds ±2 ppb over the same period for the majority of vacuum applications. Both units support velocities up to 2 m/s and a vacuum wavelength stability of ±0.1 ppm over three years. (datasheet)
• RPI30 parallel interface: The RPI30 accepts differential analogue 1 Vpp sine and cosine signals, interpolates by 4096 and provides an output in parallel format with up to 36 bits of position data. Used with a double pass plane mirror interferometer system, whose sinusoid fundamental period is nominally 158 nm, this yields a least significant bit of 38.6 picometres at velocities up to 2 m/s. Active lissajous correction can be enabled to compensate for DC offset and AC mismatch coming from the laser encoder, improving the sub divisional error to ±0.1 nm at low velocities. Two axis position and status are carried over an LVTTL (3.0 V) compatible bus, and a diagnostics connection allows remote download and analysis. (datasheet)
• RSU10 USB interface: The RSU10 accepts a 1 Vpp sine and cosine signal from an RLE system, interpolates by 16,384 and delivers a position reading through a USB port. That interpolation gives signal resolution down to 9.64 picometres at a velocity of 1 m/s. Measurement data works with Renishaw's established LaserXL and QuickViewXL calibration software, which suits users who need to view and analyse real time dynamic measurement data. A software development kit with a maximum update rate of 20 Hz is supplied with each unit, and a TPin trigger input lets data capture begin on receipt of an externally generated signal. (datasheet)
• XC-80 compensator and sensors: Air temperature, air pressure and relative humidity all shift the wavelength of light from a laser interferometer, and the XC-80 compensator corrects for that automatically. Its intelligent sensors process readings at source, and the compensator uses them to convert the nominal laser wavelength into a true value against which the interferometer read-out is adjusted, with no user intervention needed. Updates can happen automatically every seven seconds, shown by LED status lights, and the integral USB connection supplies power so no separate PC interface or power supply is required. Up to three material temperature sensors can be attached so linear measurements are normalised to a standard material temperature of 20 °C, and the standard 5 m sensor cables are detachable and can be screwed together for longer machines.

• WiRE Correlate module: 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. (datasheet)
• WiRE Cosmic Ray Removal tool: 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. (datasheet)
• WiRE Empty Modelling method: 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. (datasheet)
• WiRE Intelligent Fitting background removal tool: 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. (datasheet)
• WiRE Particle Analysis module: 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. (datasheet)
• WiRE Spectrum Search tool: 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. (datasheet)
