Raman Spectroscopy FAQ

A Look At Raman Spectroscopy What is Raman spectroscopy? Raman spectroscopy is a technique that analyzes the vibrational modes of molecules using light. When a laser beam interacts with a sample, most of the light scatters elastically (Rayleigh scattering). However, a small portion of the scattered light changes energy (inelastically scatters) due to interactions with…

MAGNIFICATION OR RESOLUTION: WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT?

Magnification versus Resolution – which is more important? We often get asked about magnification in Tabletop SEM. Magnification is a relative term since the actual magnified size of an image depends on how it is displayed. This is why the micrographs captured by Scanning Electron Microscopes almost always contain a “scale bar” so that no…
