Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) coupled with RAMAN Spectroscope

Combining Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) with Raman Spectroscopy creates powerful tools like Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) for Nano-scale chemical mapping, allowing simultaneous study of surface topography (SPM) and molecular vibrations (Raman). Applications span materials science, biology, and chemistry, enabling detailed analysis of polymers, biomolecules, catalysts, and defects with high spatial resolution (down to individual molecules) for understanding structure, composition, and dynamic processes. To image the topography of a sample surface by scanning the cantilever over a region of interest of various materials like thin and thick coatings, ceramics, composites, glasses, synthetic & biological membranes, metals, semiconductors, polymers, etc. Raman spectroscopy is a qualitative tool for identifying molecules from their vibrations especially in conjunction with infrared spectrometry. Raman spectroscopy can be used to observe other low frequency excitations of the solid, such as Plasmon, magnons and superconducting gap excitations.
