Raman Spectroscopy and Confocal Raman Imaging in Mineralogy and Petrography

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Confocal Raman Microscopy

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Surface Sciences ((SSSUR,volume 66))

Abstract

Confocal Raman Spectroscopy and Microscopy have attained a significant increase in recognition over the past two decades and the method is now well established as another instrument in the geoscientists’ toolbox. Here we present and discuss the use and benefit of the method, considering aspects related to sample preparation, effects of the interaction of lasers on specific sample surfaces, as well as instrumental consideration to address these aspects. Further we present examples how confocal Raman microscopy can be applied in mineral phase and phase composition imaging as well as crystallographic orientation imaging in a variety of geological materials, including shocked minerals , carbonaceous materials and fluid inclusions .

Notes

  1. 1.

    The projected confocal aperture is the size of the pinhole when projected into the focal plane. It thus includes the influence of all optics of the specific instruments and is thus a comparable value.
