• See fine detail – High spatial resolution, comparable to other microscopic techniques. Pinpoint the Raman analysis using a range of optical microscopy techniques.
• Discriminate between the target and surrounding material using Renishaw’s EasyConfocal technology for high spatial resolution and contrast.
• Little or no sample preparation – Raman spectra can be acquired from any sample you could focus on with an optical microscope.
• Highly specific identification – Differentiate chemical structures, even if they’re closely related.
• Non-contact and non-destructive – Analyse evidence multiple times without any damage.

Raman is complementary to other microscopic techniques including SEM, FLM, microspectrophotometry, FT-IR, polarised light microscopy and glass refractive index measurements. Results can be combined easily with SEM, AFM, fluorescence, FT-IR and optical microscopy using Renishaw’s Correlate software module, to reveal chemical composition.
