Description
Raman spectroscopy can be used for material characterisation based on the extracted information on the type, position and orientation of the functional groups in molecules. The compounds can be identified by their characteristic Raman spectra. Our Raman microscope is a state-of-the-art equipment from Renishaw. With its focus tracking technology, the microscope can also analyze samples with uneven, curved or rough surfaces. Connected to the scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an external unit, a Raman spectrum can be recorded at the same time and at the same point as the SEM measurements. These combined instrument setup makes it a unique measuring device in Hungary. In addition to the study of cultural heritage objects, the Raman microscope is also suitable for analysis of biological (samples from plant and animal origin, smears), geological (rocks, minerals and their abrasions) and industrial (metal alloys, pharmaceuticals) specimens.
