Laser Raman Spectroscopy uses the characteristic Raman spectra of materials to identify, analyse and quantify samples on a microscopic scale. Spectra can be compared to our continually expanding database, allowing rapid identification.

The fully automated X-Y-Z stage offers the opportunity to map spectra across samples, and the integrated digital imaging system allows optical and textural information to be recorded alongside the Raman spectra.

An automated heating and freezing stage is also available, allowing analysis over temperatures from -190°C to >300°C.
