Raman Microscope

Raman microscopy is a technique that uses laser light to analyze materials at the molecular level by studying how the light is scattered. This provides information about the material’s chemical composition and structure, like a unique “fingerprint.” In materials science, Raman microscopy is used to study materials such as graphene, polymers, and semiconductors, where defects, stresses, or chemical bonds can be identified.

The technique is non-destructive, making it ideal for analyzing thin films or coatings without causing damage, for example in the development of advanced materials for electronics or energy storage.
