Synopsis

One of the first books devoted entirely to the subject of Raman microscopy, Raman Microscopy addresses issues of great interest to engineers working in Raman-microscope development and researchers concerned with areas ofapplication for this science. The book is written by several world recognized experts, who summarize the Raman effect before discussing the hardware and software involved in todays instruments. This format provides an excellent introduction to this up-and-coming discipline. All important applications, including those in materials science and earth science are covered in depth.

• Includes extensive description of the instrumentation, the Raman microspectrograph, the treatment of data, and micro-Raman imaging
• Examines the use of Raman microscopy in diverse applications, including some of the hyphenated methods
• Summarizes the Raman effect
• Discusses new uses for this technology

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Raman-microscopy is one of the most powerful and versatile analytical tools which may be applied to a wide variety of fields including materials science, geology, biology, medicine, the arts and forensic science.

This the first book devoted entirely to the subject, providing an authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the whole field. It includes an extensive description of the instrumentation, the Raman microspectrometer, the treatment of data and micro-Raman imaging, as well as a thorough account of the use of Raman microscopy in diverse applications, including some of the so-called hyphenated methods.

This book will address issues that are of great interest to engineers working in Raman-microscopic development and, above all, to researchers concerned with its many areas of application.

About the Author:

Jacques Corset is the director of "Laboratoire de Spectrochimie Infrarouge et Raman" CNRS located both at Thiais and at the University of Lille, France. His research has been concentrated on the application of near-infrared, infrared and Raman spectroscopy to the study of solutions and electrolytes, viz. the structure and reactivity of ionic species in solution. He has supervised twelve theses and published more than ninety scientific papers.
