Overview

<p>Raman microscopy is&nbsp;<mark class="HxTRcb" data-processed="true">a non-invasive technique that combines a light microscope with Raman spectroscopy to analyze the chemical composition of microscopic samples</mark>. It uses a laser to cause Raman scattering in a sample, which provides a unique chemical fingerprint for each molecule, allowing for the visualization and identification of molecular components in a label-free manner. This technique is used for a wide range of applications, including the study of cells, biomaterials, and various solids, liquids, and gases.<span class="uJ19be notranslate" data-wiz-uids="Qrlgxb_k,Qrlgxb_l" data-processed="true"><span class="vKEkVd" data-animation-atomic="" data-processed="true">&nbsp;</span></span></p><br/><div class="otQkpb" role="heading" aria-level="3" data-sfc-cp="" data-processed="true"><strong>Applications:</strong></div><br/><ul class="KsbFXc U6u95" data-processed="true"><br/><li data-hveid="CAoQAA" data-processed="true"><span class="T286Pc" data-sfc-cp="" data-processed="true"><strong class="Yjhzub" data-processed="true">Biology and medicine:</strong>&nbsp;Studying live cells, imaging molecular dynamics, and diagnosing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.</span></li><br/><li data-hveid="CAoQAQ" data-processed="true"><span class="T286Pc" data-sfc-cp="" data-processed="true"><strong class="Yjhzub" data-processed="true">Materials science:</strong>&nbsp;Analyzing the composition of polymers, ceramics, and other materials.</span></li><br/><li data-hveid="CAoQAg" data-processed="true"><span class="T286Pc" data-sfc-cp="" data-processed="true"><strong class="Yjhzub" data-processed="true">Pharmaceuticals:</strong>&nbsp;Quality control of tablets and other drug formulations, including analysis of content uniformity and polymorphism.</span></li><br/><li data-hveid="CAoQAw" data-processed="true"><span class="T286Pc" data-sfc-cp="" data-processed="true"><strong class="Yjhzub" data-processed="true">Geology:</strong>&nbsp;Analyzing the composition and structure of mineral and rock samples.</span><span class="uJ19be notranslate" data-wiz-uids="Qrlgxb_40,Qrlgxb_41" data-processed="true"><span class="vKEkVd" data-animation-atomic="" data-processed="true">&nbsp;</span></span></li><br/></ul>
