Abstract

See full text

A sample placed under a microscope is illuminated by light from a laser beam. Raman scattered light is passed back via a dichroic filter to various optical components which analyse the Raman spectrum, and thence to a CCD detector. The optical components for analysing the Raman spectrum include tunable dielectric filters in a filter wheel; a Fabry-Perot etalon; and a diffraction grating. These various components may be swapped into the optical path as desired, for example using movable mirrors, enabling the apparatus to be used very flexibly for a variety of different analysis procedures. Various novel analysis methods are also described.
