This application note describes the use of confocal Raman spectroscopy for the identification of authentic materials on the gem market.
Local mechanical stress in silicon structures is an important topic of concern in microelectronics technology. Raman spectroscopy is a technique that has become increasingly popular for stress measurements in semiconductors, because ...
Determination of concentration of both vital (essential) and toxic elements in hair allows to diagnose mineral exchange violations , to reveal necessary and toxic microelements ratio in a human body , to establish the hidden reasons of diseases, the acquired diseases of metabolism, influence of toxins on a human body during a manufacturing process and in everyday life, at criminal poisonings.
Graphene has a number of unique properties (hardness, significant thermal and electrical conductivity, optical transparency, chemical stability), which makes it interesting for many applications.

To improve performance of diamond coating tools, analysis techniques capable of test samples with high spatial resolution are required. Raman/ photoluminescence spectroscopy is a good candidate for such measurements due to ultra-high sensitivity to the structural perfection of diamond. |

Raman confocal microscopy is widely used in pharmaceutics.
Such technique allows identify chemical compounds and molecular conformers in various drugs.
Measuring the distribution of the ingredients in the tablet is important for monitoring
the manufacturing process and impurity testing.

Energy from renewable sources, solar energy for example, is expected to play the important role in the near future.
To convert the energy of sunlight directly into electricity, silicon solar cells (crystalline or polycrystalline)
are widely used, because silicon technology is dominated in the market due to quickly reducing cost.
The technique developed by the specialists of SOL instruments allows to carry out measurements of 22 elements in dry leaves, fodder, mixed fodder,
dry biofuel, vegetable crops, vitamin-mineral complexes and other objects.

Unknown Fast mapping
In Confotec NR500 system we apply two modes for Raman imaging. Alongside with CCD detection mode we apply the mode in which PMT is a receiver and the scanning is realized with galvanic mirrors at a fixed sample. We call this mode Fast mapping,
