Abstract

Measurements of water as the most available and vitally important element were performed using the laser confocal scanning microscope with the purpose of extending the range of its application. In this work, the measured Raman spectra of water obtained for different water samples—unprocessed, purified, and mineral, in different phase states, and after filtration and processing using different methods—are presented.
