New Raman Microscope

A new acquisition

Professor Mathieu Frenette from the Department of Chemistry at UQAM and the NanoQAM research center have just made available to the various academic and industrial players in the nanotechnology fields a new confocal microscope coupled to a Raman spectrometer allowing to obtain spectra of specific sample areas.

Instrument properties

This Raman microscope includes an optical microscope (x5, x20 and x50) coupled to a Raman spectrometer with two sources of lasers (532 nm and 785 nm). The optical microscope is used to enlarge and identify the sample areas, while the Raman spectrometer diffuses the light and measures the excitation vibrations. It is possible to obtain Raman spectra of specific areas of samples or to map larger areas (with a resolution of 2 µm).

Future uses

Anyone interested in using this Raman Microscope or interested in being trained on this instrument for autonomous use, must imperatively contact Mr. Gwenaël Chamoulaud beforehand.
