Raman Microscope

The laboratory hosts a Renishaw InVia Raman microscope with a 532 nm 50 mW laser. The microscope is equipped with a motorized XY stage, 1800 l/mm grating and software for mineral identification and mapping. The microscope is primarily used for mineral characterization in thin sections. The acquisition of the Raman instrument was made available by the STEM Workforce Collaboratory. It is available for the wider campus community via research experience projects and course-based research experiences (CUREs). Please contact me to learn more about the instrument.
