Confocal Raman Microscope

Raman spectroscopy is an analytical technique where scattered light is used to measure the vibrational energy modes of a sample. It is named after the Indian physicist Dr. C.V. Raman who, together with his research partner K.S Krishnan, was the first to observe Raman scattering in 1928. Raman spectroscopy can provide both chemical and structural information, as well as the identification of substances through their characteristic Raman ‘fingerprint’. Raman spectroscopy extracts this information through the detection of Raman scattering from the sample.

Confocal Raman Microscopy: Confocal Raman Microscopy combines the spectral information from Raman spectroscopy with the spatial filtering of a confocal optical microscope for high resolution chemical imaging of samples. The spectral Raman information is sensitive to the vibrational modes of the sample and provides extensive chemical, physical and structural insight, while the confocal optics of the microscope enables the analysis volume within the sample to be spatially filtered with high resolution in both the lateral (XY) and axial (Z) axes. The synergy between the spectral information enables the chemical analysis of individual particles, discrete sample features or layers down to less than 1um in size.
