Raman microscope

The Raman microscope is a laser-based microscopic device.^[1] The term MOLE (molecular optics laser examiner) is used to refer to the Raman-based microprobe.^[1] The technique used is named after C. V. Raman who discovered the scattering properties in liquids.

The Raman microscope begins with a standard optical microscope, and adds an excitation laser, a monochromator, and a optical sensitive detector such as a charge-coupled device (CCD), or photomultiplier tube, (PMT)), and has been implemented for Raman spectroscopy in direct chemical imaging, the whole field of view on 3D sample.
