Abstract
The MOLER Raman microprobe is an analytical tool providing molecular and crystalline information on samples with 1 µm spatial resolution. The instrument consists of a standard microcomputer-controlled Raman monochromator optically and mechanically coupled to an optical microscope. Sample preparation is identical to that for optical microscopy, and actual measurements are performed under ambient conditions (or in corrosion or catalyst cells under controlled conditions with a long working distance objective, when required). Examples of successful applications of the technique are derived from work on polymers, ceramics, corroded samples, semi-conductor materials, and manufacturing contaminants (particularly organic contaminants). In all cases the information derived from the Raman microprobe complements that obtained on other analytical instruments. The unique contribution of the Raman microprobe to our understanding of these materials is always emphasized.
