Raman Spectroscopy: From Molecular Fingerprints to Medical Marvels
Unveiling the Versatility of Raman Spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy is a versatile analytical technique that has revolutionized our ability to investigate the molecular composition and structure of various materials. This method relies on the inelastic scattering of light by a molecule’s chemical bonds, providing unique insights into vibrational energy and distinct chemical signatures. Despite its potential, the Raman signal is typically weak compared to absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. However, recent advancements in technology have led to more stable and affordable Raman instruments, expanding its applications in fields ranging from life sciences to materials science.
