Our Laboratory is equipped with an Horiba Labram Evolution Raman Spectrometer

Key features:

• Two laser wavelengths (532, 633 nm)
• Dual gratings (600 g/mm and 1800 g/mm)
• Long-working-distance microscope objectives (Mitutoyo, 10x, 20x, 50x)
• 0.9-m spectrograph, thermoelectrically cooled CCD detector
• Confocal imaging capabilities
• Spectral resolution of better than 2 cm-1
• 2D mapping capabilities (Duoscan, Swift mapping)
• A library of 24,000 reference spectra for automated identification of unknowns.
