Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium

The Confocal Raman Imaging symposium will cover various aspects of modern Raman microscopy and will provide an introduction to Raman spectroscopy in general as well as operational principles and instrumentation relevant to the techniques.

An important part of the symposium will be a contributed poster session giving the participants the opportunity to present and discuss their scientific results on confocal Raman imaging. Participants are encouraged to submit an abstract for the poster session as well as a sample analysis session after the workshop in which individual samples of participants will be analyzed under the guidance of a WITec application scientist.

This symposium is an excellent occasion for scientists and engineers to further their knowledge of this highly valuable technique in order to meet emerging requirements in the chemical identification and imaging of various compounds. Typical fields of research appropriate for confocal Raman imaging are pharmaceutics and cosmetics, materials and polymer science, geosciences, or coatings and thin film analysis.
