This second edition provides a cutting-edge overview of physical, technical and scientific
aspects related to the widely used analytical method of confocal Raman microscopy. The …

Confocal Raman microscopy is an extremely useful technique that permits nondestructive,
spatially resolved measurements deep within transparent samples simply by focusing the …

Confocal Raman Microscopy is a relatively new technique that allows chemical imaging
without specific sample preparation. By integrating a sensitive Raman spectrometer within a …

Confocal Raman microscopy is a powerful tool for research and analysis in the chemical,
materials and life sciences, particularly for non-destructive depth profiling of transparent …

A new approach to obtain corrected depth profiles by confocal Raman microscopy, which
considers diffraction and refraction effects is presented. The problem of diffraction effects …

Spherical aberration is probably the most important factor limiting the practical performance
of a confocal Raman microscope. This paper suggests some simple samples that can be …

This paper describes continuing studies on the effect of refraction on the depth resolution
and spatial accuracy of confocal Raman microscopy. Previous work showed how the …

Raman spectroscopy is a weak scattering technique in which typically less than one in a
million excitation photons give rise to a single Raman photon. The situation is even more …

We describe an iterative image restoration technique which functions as digital confocal
microscopy for Raman images. We deconvolute the lateral and axial components of the …

In confocal Raman microscopy experiments, tens of thousands of spectra are commonly
acquired in each measurement. Every spectrum carries a wealth of information on the …
