Raman Spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical method that provides detailed insight in the structures of crystals, their polymorphism, crystallinity and intermolecular forces. The method is applied for phase identification and quantification. Raman spectroscopy relies upon interaction of monochromatic light (Laser) with the molecular vibrations within the sample investigated.

Raman microscope system equipped with a motorized xyz stage allows an acquisition of arrays of Raman spectra in two and three dimensions, which can be used for imaging of the phase distribution of a given sample (hyperspectral imaging). In combination with the module TrueSurface, the Raman signal follows the sample surface optimizing the signal at every point of the mapping. Thus, both: Raman imaging and topography of the surface are acquired at the same time and could be subsequently superimposed.
