Instrument Description:

The Raman microscope is a laser-based microscopic device used to perform Raman spectroscopy. The Raman microscope begins with a standard optical microscope, and adds an excitation laser, laser rejection filters, a spectrometer or monochromator, and an optical sensitive detector such as a charge-coupled device (CCD), or photomultiplier tube, (PMT). One example is the XploRA confocal Raman microscope (information from the manufacturer).

PI supplied instrument name: XploRA confocal Raman microscope
Dataset-specific description

Raman spectra were acquired with an XploRA confocal Raman microscope by Horiba Jobin Yvon, Inc. The system includes a flat field spectrograph with a multichannel air cooled CCD detector and color camera optically coupled to an Olympus BX41 microscope. The investigators used three lasers: a 532 nm 25 mW solid-state laser, a 638 nm 25 mW laser diode, and a 785 nm 25 mW laser diode. See more information about the Raman microscope on the UMCES website.
