True Surface Microscopy for Topographic Confocal Raman Imaging

Confocal Raman imaging opened the door for many applications in Raman spectroscopy and imaging that were previously unavailable for measurement with conventional (non-confocal) Raman methods. However, high confocality always results in high focus sensitivity and this can make measurements difficult with rough and/or inclined samples. Especially when performing scans on a larger scale (scan size larger than 1 mm), this often necessitated careful alignment and extensive sample preparation. moreDec. 06, 2011

Princeton Instruments Launches EMCCD Camera for Spectroscopy

Princeton Instruments introduced a EMCCD camera solution for spectroscopy applications. The ProEM:1600 camera features 16 micron pixels in both 1600 x 200 and 1600 x 400 formats. It utilizes eXcelon technology which reduces the interference fringes that have made back-thinned EMCCDs unusable in the NIR regions. moreNov. 11, 2010

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Laboratory researchers may have found a way to improve Raman spectroscopy as a tool for identifying substances in extremely low concentrations. Potential applications for Raman spectroscopy include medical diagnosis, drug/chemical development, forensics and highly portable detection systems for national security. The ability to identify molecules at low concentrations with great specificity and provide non-invasive, nondestructive measurements has led to the increasing use of Raman spectroscopy as an accepted analytical technique. moreOct. 29, 2010
