Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview01:26

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview

532
A conventional Raman spectrophotometer includes a laser source, a sample holding system, a wavelength selector, and a detector.
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

12.4K
The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...

Scanning Electron Microscopy

4.4K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Area of Science:

  • Nanoscale Spectroscopy
  • Scanning Probe Microscopy
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) has advanced significantly using atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy.
  • There is growing interest in adapting TERS for liquid-phase scanning probe microscopy (SPM) for biological and catalytic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design, construct, and characterize a novel Scanning Ion-Conductance Microscope (SICM) integrated with TERS for near-field spectroscopy in liquid environments.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of SICM-TERS for label-free nanoscale analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a full sample-scanning SICM with TERS optics and noise-isolation techniques.
  • Characterization of the SICM-TERS system using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) structures and silica-nanosphere-grafted PDMS.

Main Results:

  • The SICM-TERS system successfully performed both direct-current and alternating-current SICM imaging.
  • TERS capabilities were validated on functionalized PDMS, demonstrating its potential for nanoscale chemical imaging.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SICM-TERS system is a viable and versatile tool for nanoscale spectroscopy under liquid conditions.
  • This technology opens new avenues for real-time, in situ analysis of soft matter, electrochemical, and biological systems.
