  2. Raman Microscopy • Irradiate sample with monochromatic radiation • Most scattered light unchanged (Rayleigh scattering) • For some molecules vibrate, removing energy from radiation before scattering • Frequency difference gives vibrational spectrum hn Rayleigh hn Intensity hn hn’ hn’ hn 0 n-n’ hn • High magnification objectives allows micron spatial resolution

  3. Advantages Disadvantages • Weak effect • Minimal sample prep. • Expensive • Simple operation • Time consuming • Very general • Fluorescence interferes • Rich in information • Good spatial resolution • Underdeveloped processing tools • Aqueous samples • “Special” techniques
