Instrument Type

OTHER SPECTROSCOPIES - Raman Spectroscopy

Application:

Mineral structure (atomic) Micro-imaging

Typical Use:

This is a custom-built system for Raman spectroscopy measurements in the diamond-anvil cell. However, this instrument can be used for micro-analysis of any sample, including fluid inclusions and thin sections. The beam size is 1 micron and the depth resolution is 20-100 microns.
