[Text en: Raman]
Confocal Raman microscopy combines the properties of confocal microscopy - high, spatial resolution in 3D - with the advantages of Raman spectroscopy - precise substance identification via the vibrational modes of the involved molecules.
The HOT uses confocal Raman microscopy for example to
- non-invasively analyze living biofilms
- non-invasively identify bacteria species
- detection of microplastics in complex environmental samples
- functional analysis of proteins, peptides, and amino acids
often using specific molecular resonances for signal enhancing or directly in the form of resonance Raman spectroscopy.
