Chemical imaging with vibrational signatures

Raman microscopy merges the chemical fingerprinting power of Raman spectroscopy with high-resolution optical imaging to deliver detailed chemical visuals of materials. By detecting vibrational modes through light scattering, it offers a non-destructive method to analyse chemical composition. Learn how our RM5 and RMS1000 Raman Microscopes can enhance your research in Raman Microscopy.

DESCRIPTION

In Raman microscopy, monochromatic laser light is directed onto a sample, and the scattered light is collected and analysed.

Most of the scattered light retains the same energy as the incident light (Rayleigh scattering), but a small fraction undergoes energy shifts due to interactions with molecular vibrations (Raman scattering). These energy shifts provide a molecular fingerprint that is unique to the specific bonds and structures within the sample. Detailed Raman images of the sample's chemical composition are obtained by acquiring the Raman spectra across a 2D area or 3D volume.  

Raman microscopy is useful for a wide variety of sample types, including studying biological tissues, characterising semiconductor and nanomaterial layers, and analysing polymers and pharmaceuticals. Its non-invasive nature allows for rapid analysis without the need for extensive sample preparation.

Raman microscopy images of pharmaceutical tablet - red, green and blue sections represent different components of the tablet.
