Raman microscope / List of 6 manufacturers
What is a Raman microscope?
A Raman microscope is a device that detects and captures the Raman spectrum obtained by Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique that provides detailed information such as chemical structure, phase and polymorphy, crystallinity, and molecular interactions. It is based on the interaction of light with chemical bonds within the material. Raman spectroscopy probe the chemical structure of a material to provide the following information: Identity with chemical structure Phase and polymorphism Intrinsic stress / strain Pollution and impurities In general, the Raman spectrum is a clear chemical fingerprint of a particular molecule or substance, which can be used to identify or distinguish a substance very quickly. Raman spectrum libraries are often used to identify substances based on their Raman spectrum.
Application of Raman microscope
Raman can be used to analyze many different samples.
Generally, it is suitable for the following analysis.
Solid, powder, liquid, gel, slurry, gas
Inorganic / organic / biomaterials
Pure chemicals, mixtures, solutions
Metal oxides and corrosion
Also, in general, it is not suitable for the following analysis.
Metals and their alloys
Typical examples of Raman being used include: Characterization of pigments, ceramics and gems in the fields of art and archeology. Evaluation of structure and purity of carbon material nanotubes, defects and turbulence. In the field of chemistry, structure, purity and reaction monitoring. In life science, single cell and tissue, drug interaction, disease diagnosis.
