Laser Lithographically Written Si-Structures: Raman & AFM Imaging WITec GmbH This application note describes structures in crystalline Si created using laser lithography, which were then examined with the same instrument using confocal Raman imaging, confocal PL imaging, and AFM.   Confocal Raman & AFM Imaging of Paper WITec GmbH This application note presents confocal Raman and AFM measurements from several stages of the paper manufacturing process along with specialty paper characterizations and residue, coating, printing, and writing analysis.   Confocal Raman & AFM Imaging for Polymer-Characterization WITec GmbH This application note describes the combination of the two nondestructive measuring methods AFM and confocal Raman microscopy. The advantages of this unique combination are demonstrated on thin films of polymers.   Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Imaging at the Nanoscale WITec GmbH Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) is applied to achieve lateral resolution far below the diffraction limit. This application note describes analyses of carbon nanowire with TERS. Raman & AFM Imaging of Nano-Carbon Materials WITec GmbH Raman & AFM imaging provides information regarding the characterization of chemical and structural properties. This article highlights advantages of these techniques when applied to diamond films, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. Ultrasensitive 3D Confocal Raman Imaging WITec GmbH Confocal Raman microscopy is an excellent tool for true 3D chemical imaging. In this application note the technique for ultrasensitive Raman imaging is highlighted along with various examples of applications.   High-Resolution 3D Confocal Raman Imaging for GaN-Layers WITec GmbH In this application note 3D confocal Raman imaging in semiconductor research is presented. The properties of GaN-layers are analyzed and compared to SEM imaging. Confocal Raman Imaging — Living Cells, Bacteria & Tissues WITec GmbH Confocal Raman imaging is a nondestructive, label-free method to study living cells, bacteria, and tissues such as a hamster brain and a histopathological breast cancer section. Forensic Investigations Using Confocal Raman Imaging WITec GmbH Confocal Raman imaging can be effectively used for forensic investigations such as fingerprint analyses. The technique provides information on the chemical composition as well as the spatial distribution. Food Analysis with Confocal Raman Microscopy WITec GmbH This application note presents confocal Raman microscopy as a useful tool for food research, development, and quality control to study the distribution of various food compounds.
