RAMAN Microspectrometer HORIBA Jobin Yvon HR-800

The Raman Microspectrometer is equipped with a 633nm He-Ne-Laser, a 532nm Nd-YAG- and a 325nm He-Cd Laser. It is best prepared for structural identification of minerals and mineral inclusions in metamorphosed and unmetamorphosed rocks. In combination with a heating and freezing stage (LINKAM THSMG600), spectroscopy is used for identification and characterization of fluid inclusions. Raman mapping is possible by using a motorized X-Y stage (≥ 0.1µm step size). This is applied for melt inclusions, PT dependent peak shift identification of minerals (e.g. quartz) but also for Si-wafers, detecting the shift in Si peak position (see examples below):
