Raman Microscopy and Imaging

Raman microscopy has been used for analysis of very small samples or small heterogeneities in larger samples. Recent developments and applications of this technique have been reviewed by Turrell and Corset (1996), including a discussion of the coupling of Raman microscopy with electron, ion and x-ray microscopies, and these authors give a description of a number of prototype instruments with this facility.

Most implementations of filter-based nondispersive spectrometers occur in Raman microscopy and imaging, where their large clear aperture is particularly valuable. These applications are discussed further in Chapter 11, but the nature and performance of tunable filters as wavelength analyzers are outlined here.
