Confocal Raman Microscope Imaging Service

Introduction

Confocal Raman Microscopy (CRM) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the realm of advanced imaging techniques. By leveraging the principles of Raman spectroscopy and combining it with optical microscopy, CRM offers a non-invasive, label-free method to capture detailed molecular fingerprints of samples. This technique has been instrumental in bridging the gap between traditional microscopy and molecular spectroscopy, providing researchers with a comprehensive view of their subjects.
